Title: Where can I get alloy compression bolt for my forks/stem
Post by: firebird4130 on December 07, 2009, 07:40 PM

I've lost the top cap for my forks (eastern ultralight) Its the one that closes the stem down to compress the headset. the inside of the fork steerer is threaded, so the cap/bolt is that diameter, anyone have one know where i can get one?

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

Fraz

 :) Do you know the thread size? TreeBikeCo did them in various sizes (expensive) as do Stolen.I think it`s Split Second Imports(Exteme Direct) who are the distro for Eastern,maybe give them a bell?

As Heywood says theres differant sizes and threads

http://www.treebicycleco.com/parts6.html

Click on 'click for info' and find your forks and the size top cap you need

They're a bit pricey so i used it just to find out the size i needed, found that colony ones were the same thread so bought one of those...  :daumenhoch:
