flas12345 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i had a problem like this on the first day i got my trials bike, but all i did was got a mallet and a piece of copper pipe and tapped it down the forks making sure that it went it straight. i tapped it down further than i actually needed it then i put the pipe in the forks from the bottom and tapped it back up to where i neded it, this way it helps the star nut to grip to the forks. since i did this i have not had another problem with it yet.hope i have helped you.cheers louis.

core Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i would deffinetly recomend taking it to your local bike shop if you dont have the propper tools but thread a bolt in there and tap away with a rubber mallet if you have no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Tap it in with the bolt, then to get it sitting straight in the steerur tube, get a socket that fits (near enough) perfectly in the steerur, and put that over the star nut, and tap that down.
