Lawnmowerman Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 1 1/8" mate. They're meant to be too big, you need to put a bolt into it and whack it into your forks so the top star is about 5mm away from the top of the steerer tube.

Alex-Mitchinson Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Pretty sure they're all the same size, apart from 06 deng forks which need smaller ones.Bare in mind they need to be reallllly tight for them to actually work, to get one in I normally use a mallet and something thin to push the starnut down my headtube.

Ben H! Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) it should fit but ring tarty bikes they will tell you everything you need to know Edited January 4, 2008 by Czartrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Na should be fine it will be a tiny bit to big because it has got to bend up to get it to stay in the fork and not move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Mitchinson Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 oh yea forgot to meantion i have echo lite forks does that change anything?Like I said before, if they are 06 then Im pretty sure they take a smaller star nut than normal due to them having a thicker head tube.Tarty used to sell them.

rudirudirudirudirudi Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 just for reference. what i do is get a socket piece the right size that goes around the whole in the middle of the star nut. works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Will be fine, its just a case of tapping it into your steerer tube. Needs to be that tight or it wont work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
