Just tried to fiddle with the headset on my wife's Scott road bike. Turns out the bolts dont seem to be Torx ones and they are certainly not Allen bolts.
What are they ?
Oh, and why dont they just use Allen bolts FFS.
Picture would help, tamper proof torx?
Tamper proof torx? They are slightly different

but you can buy but sets quite cheap if it's a funny one

My Ritchey uses T20 torx. Try that.
I had to buy a tool for my ritchey stem. Irritiating but it usually is when you have boxes of tools but not the one you need
What? Non standard headset bolts. Ffs, what is this, a "boost" headset jebus.
I ended up buying a 100 piece screw/allen/torx set that Mattyfez linked to.
So bring on your stupid bolt types now and watch me undo them all 🙂
And what was it in the stem?

May be quicker to obtain, if you have a branch local to you.
Yeh if you don't know what's in the stem, that swt might not have what you need!
