A star nut presses into a 1-1/8in alloy or steel steerer tube to anchor the top cap bolt that sets headset preload.

Compatibility & fit

Fits 1-1/8in (28.6mm) steerer tubes on alloy or steel forks — not for carbon steerers, which use an expansion plug instead (see the Ancora Expansion Plug). Needs a star nut setting tool to install.

Cane Creek covers this as a small part/accessory: 1 year against defects in materials and workmanship, not everyday wear or incorrect installation. For warranty support, return the product to Tune Cycles and we'll manage the claim with Cane Creek's Australian distributor. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law — keep your proof of purchase.
