Default Zeus ZICCS FCM Compression Nut & Top Cap

Hello all! I purchased a Orbea frame that came with a Zeus ZICCS FCM 1-1/8" Carbon-Carbon. It didn't come with a compression plug or top cap. I purchased a Reynolds Ouzo 1-1/8" compression plug, but it is to wide for the inner diameter of the Zeus fork. I was told by the Orbea guys to purchase a Zeus compression nut, but have had no luck in actually finding one anywhere! Any help would be much appreciated! Doesn't have to be Zeus... just a decent one that's going to work.

Happy riding!... and quit laughing at me 'cause my bikes just sitting there!

Hello,
You can also use a Profile compression plug as well. Forget the compression plug and use a U.S.E. Ringo Star. It is not used like a traditional compresion plug. You will be much happier. I have used them for 6 months now and have not had one issue with them. They are not expensive either.
