The FSA Compression Plug is designed specifically for 1" carbon steerer tubes, providing a safe and reliable alternative to the traditional star nut and top cap assembly. Unlike star nuts, which can damage carbon steerers, this compression plug expands against the inner wall of the steerer tube to create secure headset preload without compromising the carbon structure.
Ideal for road, time trial, and triathlon bicycles equipped with carbon forks, the FSA Compression Plug ensures proper headset adjustment while protecting the integrity of the fork steerer.
