  • I've been looking in to perfecting all of this for my next build. And since the space inside a steerer is so limited, I've been thinking about losing the sleeve or any other form of star nut/expander plug.

    And I'm currently looking into 2 options, go for a One Up EDC lockring for my pre-load. This means I don't need a top cap, thus not needing a star nut of expander plug. https://www.oneupcomponents.com/collections/edc

    The second option would be a problem solver adjustable headset spacer between the stem and headset. Not sure about the looks though.

  • The EDC looks like a nice system, even without running cables down the steerer, I'd like on other bikes to have tools in there.
    Maybe no good on a carbon steerer though? I wouldn't want to tap a thread into one anyway.

    The previously mentioned Pro Tharsis stem has a built in pre load thread since it's designed for having the di2 battery in the steerer rather than an expanding wedge
