The following story illustrates this. http://www.serotta.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42900 "Cannondale uses a starnut. I thought that was stupid and replaced it with a compression plug. Last week I replaced that frame, and as I was taking it apart I found where the compression plug had basically split the fork half way around. I suppose I was only weeks away from certain dental work. I would use the method that the fork manufacturer recommends... I sure am glad that my new fork has an aluminum steerer tube." I understand that one needs to make sure that the level of the expansion plug is within the protective band of the stem. So in effect, the stem protects the outer of the CF steerer tube. -- $$$ AND NOOOO DIRECTIONS ??? |
