Bought the forks. Bought a steerer bung from Wiggle which didn't fit - OK my mistake must be different sizes. Bought a bung from On One which also does not fit inside the steerer?
Which steerer bung will actually fit?
Hope Hed Doctor probably won't, they're quite fat too- I had to machine mine down a lot to get it to fit a (different) carbon fork.
You never know, On One might actually have one and have just sent you something that doesn't work in a fit of being On One.
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/bbb-powerhead-compressor-adjuster-bap03/rp-prod29884 that fits as I've used it on mine mate.
Oh- assuming you want to get it built in the meantime, here's a PowerBodge for you, this is how I did it. Let the front tyre down a bit, jam the bars under a shelf, and then inflate the tyre a bit to load up the steerer, tighten steerer bolts. Repeat 50 times til everything's right.
(you could do this with a bit of rope too. I tried to use a fat bloke and a small child but that didn't work)
On-one do two. They sent you the wrong one. As they did me. Have another go 😀

£15 for a steerer bung!
I'm confused by some of On-Ones price of things like this, swap-outs for frames like the C456 and crown races.
I left feedback on the OnOne site suggesting that given the fork bung they say fits all 1 1/8 carbon forks (£9.99) doesn't fit the Fatty forks they should probably change the description and point you at the £14.99 bung they also sell that does.
I take it they haven't updated it.
Yes, the one linked above is what I got. You won't need the outer sleeve/shim, though.
Northwind...brilliant.
Proper engineering.
🙂
Bummocks! I bought the wrong one BUT On One's description is "Use this instead of a star fangled nut on all 1 1/8 inch carbon forks". Didn't see the other one on the website when I ordered and assumed it would fit all as described. Will have words with OO.
