Carbon Steer Tube ?
 

My Serotta F2 fork, made by Reynolds, has a carbon steer tube. The
metal insert in the top which functions as a star nut in this carbon
application has come unglued. What type of epoxy should I use to
reattach this to the steer tube?

Thanks,

Henry

JB Weld. I thought that Alpha Q were the ones with the glued in insert, now
made by True Temper??

Availability note:
JB Weld is easily enough found at your local Home Depot.

It is true the Alpha Q forks do use a epoxied metal insert. However
the Serotta F2, by Reynolds, does also. In any event I reglued the
insert yesterday per Serotta's instruction. We used the samed epoxy,
whose named I failed to get from the LBS, that is used on the True
Temper Alpha Q forks.
