What This Category Is For
The star nut is what the top cap bolt pulls against to preload a headset. This one is CNC hollow machined from AL7075 rather than stamped from sheet, which keeps the leg geometry consistent so preload behaves the same on every build.
The Problem It Solves
A stamped star nut that deforms under the top cap bolt, or spins in the steerer, makes headset preload impossible to set correctly. The part costs almost nothing and ruins the build.
