Bungs!
When I swapped the fork I wanted to use a bung, rather than the star fangled nut that was in the original ones, so I got a Hope Head Doctor:
Sadly the diameter of the bung was too large to fit into the inside of the steerer.
So, we made do with an M:Parts one:
But that was as stop gap, until this arrived:
This is a combination of parts, the alloy sleeve comes with new Cervelo's, and epoxies into the steerer, the top cap and bolt are from Fibrelyte.
The alloy sleeve should provide all the reinforcement needed for the stem to clamp nice and firmly.
