Special Features

  • Universal 28.6mm Fit for Most Forks: This expansion bolt is precisely sized for a 28.6mm internal diameter, making it the standard compression plug accessory for the vast majority of modern carbon fiber road bike, gravel bike, and mountain bike forks that use a 1-1/8" steerer tube.
  • Safety for Carbon Fiber Forks: Specifically designed as a compression plug for carbon fork applications. It safely distributes clamping force from the stem's top cap evenly inside the hollow carbon steerer tube, preventing costly cracks or damage that can occur from direct clamping pressure.
  • Simple Installation: Features an intuitive wedge-style expansion mechanism. Simply insert the plug into your fork's steerer tube and tighten the top bolt. The internal wedge expands, creating a secure and rigid anchor point for your headset's preload adjustment.
  • Sturdy Construction: Crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, this expansion bolt is engineered to be both strong and lightweight, contributing to a clean, reliable, and performance-oriented front-end setup on your bike.
  • Replacement Part: A must-have component for building a new bike, replacing a damaged plug, or performing headset maintenance. Ensures proper bearing adjustment and a safe, creak-free connection between your fork and handlebar stem.

Description

Precision Fit for 28.6mm Steerers: Designed to fit the industry-standard internal diameter, ensuring a snug and secure fit in most carbon forks.

Lightweight & Strong: Machined from quality materials to offer an optimal balance of minimal weight and maximum strength, perfect for performance-oriented cycling.

Easy Installation: The installation process is straightforward and requires only a standard Allen key.

How It Works & When You Need It:
During a new bike build or fork installation, this plug is a required component before installing the stem.
If you are replacing your handlebar stem, you must use this plug (or a compatible one) to secure the new stem.
If your current plug is damaged, stripped, or missing, this is a direct, essential replacement.
