took the lathe out for a spin today and converted my 105 headset to threadless. i have never seen an expander like the one i got in my forks (it's the first 1" i see, so that might explain things) but the integrated stem cap wouldn't have worked with my syncros stem. sourcing one locally/waiting for one to arrive would have been a major pita, so i decided to take matters into my own hands.. (pics don't show it, but the integrated stem cap was machined down too. it slides all the way into the steerer and is held in place with a bolt and nut)
