  1. Somehow, I stripped the threads in the expander plug for my Reynolds Pro
    fork with carbon steer tube. It seems like the wedge/cone bit was
    bottoming out in the expansion plug and I just honked too hard until the
    threads gave up. So I am looking for at least the expansion plug itself
    or maybe also the matching wedge/cone. If I can get only the plug, I can
    grind down the cone/wedge so it no longer bottoms-out. Let me know what
    you have. I can get the whole shebang at Excel for $20. Thanks.

  2. I have some compression plugs for 1" diameter steertube made by
    DiaComp.
    Email me if you might be interested.

  3. Thanks but Reynolds replaced mine for free after I called customer
    service. They were very nice and fast with the replacement. Recommended!
