Well this is a first, I have a Colnago CX fork which didn’t come with a bung (you know star fangled nut equivalent for carbon forks) nor top cap, so I’ve taken the one out of my Reynolds Ouzo Pro CX carbon fork. Simply it doesn’t fit, so the internal dimensions of the steerer tube (yes they are both 1 1/8″) must be narrower in the Colnago ones. Is this likely ? Its the first time I’ve ever come across this problem. Would I need to get a specific bung and top cap for it do we think ?? Or am I best off getting out the wet and dry paper ?????

Help !

just hammer an SFN in there and have done with it 😉

You need the correct part.

Tizwaz’ suggestion is about as sensible as wet and dry!

If the bung is too small, what is the Wet and Dry going to achieve?

I agree it should be the right size, but where would I find it ???

And the wet and dry was a joke much as the bang an SFN in !

😉

any good;

not cheap mind…

If you bought the fork new (I’m assuming not?) then I’d be asking why I didn’t get one.

That CRC link looks like the thing, it’s not that expensive, considering you’ve already bought a Colnago!

Not unual for variation in carbon fork ID’s nowadays, that colnago unit looks nice as it is a good depth helping to protect it from crushing forces etc. Good roadie orientated websites like fairwheel often qoute the width of carbon bungs to help purchasing one over the net.

wwaswas, that is perfect !!!!

Nope, not too expensive, that looks like a well engineered bit of kit !

I tried to google that, but nothing came up, so well done !!!

Thanks lads, as always, good advice from the good burghers of this parish !

Wee bit cheaper from PX
