DNS today on account of the steerer bung not holding... again.
Steerer and bung have been keyed, cleaned with acetone and a two-part epoxy used, left to cure for ~five hours before tightening.
The problem seems to be that the bung is such a tight fit, that the epoxy is being pushed down the steerer by the bung, leaving insufficient to form an adequate bond.
Reduce the diameter of the bung? Score some grooves in it?
