Hi all,

I'm after a carbon steerer tube headset compression bung. Seems to be lots of conflicting reviews on the usual websites, with internal diameter compatibility issues and weak threads being the main culprits.

Considering this:

or:

any good experiences or recommendations?

I'm using a BBB Powerhead http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/bbb-powerhead-compressor-adjuster-bap03/rp-prod29884

It's on an aluminium steerer though as the stem and star nut where slipping, it is torqued up super ******* tight and has solved the stem slipping and apears well made but can't comment on it's use with a carbon steerer
