  1. My Serotta F2 fork, made by Reynolds, has a carbon steer tube. The metal insert in the top which
    functions as a star nut in this carbon application has come unglued. What type of epoxy should I use
    to reattach this to the steer tube?

    Thanks,

    Henry

    JB Weld. I thought that Alpha Q were the ones with the glued in insert, now made by True Temper??

    Availability note: JB Weld is easily enough found at your local Home Depot.

    It is true the Alpha Q forks do use a epoxied metal insert. However the Serotta F2, by Reynolds,
    does also. In any event I reglued the insert yesterday per Serotta's instruction. We used the samed
    epoxy, whose named I failed to get from the LBS, that is used on the True Temper Alpha Q forks.
