Small issue with my star nut sleeve in the CX'er it seems. Inside the steerer there is a thin ali sleeve with the nut set inside it (it's a one piece system) cap sits on top of the stem and bolt through as normal.
I've kinda overtightened it and the sleeve has come unbonded from the inside of the carbon head tube... as i tighten it up now I can feel the sleeve sliding up the steerer tube. I've checked this out a few times so know it's come unbonded from the steerer tube.
Don't want to stick a star nut down there to expand in the carbon steerer thanks, sooooooo
Do you think I can just rebond the ali sleeve with something like araldite?? or is there something more suitable?
Cheers
That's all cervelo give you (they use the same system).
Just rebond it with araldite, this is how all cervelos are done, they come with the sleve and a little pact of glue, once they steerer is cut to size you glue the sleve in.
They've been know to come lose, you just rebond them.
Too slow!
Ta, thought as much..
It's on my R5, not the CX'er BTW..
Giant? Had the same with my TCR. Threw away the sleeve. Will I die?
Make sure you tape it down when you re bond it...they have a habit of floating up a bit as they cure.
Ohh, ta!
