## Overview

The Cane Creek Star Nut Insert is a high-strength, precision-engineered metal component designed for 1-1/8 inch steerer tubes. Featuring a durable black oxide finish and a maximum shear strength of 310 MPa, it ensures reliable headset preload and long-lasting performance. Made in the USA, this lightweight insert is essential for professional-grade bicycle fork installations.

## Description

While inconspicuous to the non-mechanic's eye, the star nut plays a vital role -- it sets the preload for headset bearings. Believe us, when you purchase a new fork, cutting the steerer tube is only one step along the path to installation. In fact, unless completely butchered, the cut falls more towards the category of fit. However, setting a Star Nut like this quality Cane Creek Insert is essential for function. The Cane Creek Star Nut Insert is available in one color and is only compatible with 1-1/8in steerer tubes.

Seat them using a tool and you’ll have no worries installing your fork and headset

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great and does the Job.
*by S***I on November 1, 2021*

Tip: use old stem or a stem to help align it before hammering it without the correct tool. The threads are good and does the job.
