Does it matter what carbon fork bung you use?

This is for my Planet-X Pro carbon forks. Do they all work they same? is there a minimum insert etc?

Cheers

they're all similar - main thing is you need to have at least 5mm of spacer [i]above[/i] the stem clamp (lot of manufacturers void warranty if they think you haven't done this).

Internal diameters can vary sllightly, so make sure it's a good fit, but otherwise use what you want.

nice one, I'm guessing that in order to give a decent pull whilsts leaving the 5mm gap it might be worth getting a bung that runs a little deeper into the steerer.

Am I right in thinking that the bung will just slot in and expand when the cap is screwed in? or would it need a little more encouragement, similar to that of a star nut?

My PKZ? PRZ? one hasn't worked that well in my Planet X, just so you know.
