Please note that star nuts are designed to be a tight fit so they don't pull back out when you tighten your headset. We strongly recommend using a star nut setting tool for fitting, or alternatively you can screw a bolt into the thread and then carefully tap the bolt to install. Damage to the star nut during fitting is not covered under warranty as these do not 'just fall apart'! Similarly, the warranty does not cover instances where the headset top cap bolt has been overtightened.

If you are buying forks and a star nut and would like us to fit it for you, add a Star Nut Fitting workshop item to your basket.

Which star nut goes in a standard echo m5 lite

Posted by Alick

Reply from TartyBikes

Hi Alick - If it's the Mk5, you would ideally need the Medium star nut. The Medium is a relatively tight fit so you need to be careful installing it (the Small is much too small). Thanks, Mark

Hi Which one do I need to buy for the new Czar Ion fork? Thanks Oleg

Posted by Oleg

Hi Oleg - You would need the Small starnut for the Ion forks. Thanks, Mark

Any chance you have a star nut to receive an M10 x1.25? Thx

Posted by J. Fisher

Hello - the star nuts we have are only compatible with M6 bolts. The closest we have to what you're looking for would be something like the Gusset Hollow Star Nut Kit (Product code: 11013). Thanks, Mark

Hey! What size for the Echo Sl 26 fork ?

Posted by Tobias Olsson

Hi Tobias - That will depend on the year of SL fork as they have used different sizes. If you are able to measure the inside of your steerer tube and match it to the closest star nut size we supply it should work well. Thanks, Mark

My trials bikes forks are 17.9 mm which one would fit better the 18mm or the 21mm.Thank you

Posted by Luke butkinshaw

Hi Luke - To be on the safe side, and to ensure the star nut grips your steerer tube well, I'd recommend going for the 21mm size as it should mean the tabs bend up more and grip the inner wall better. Thanks, Mark

Hi, which star nut would fit inside the end of the my handle bars?

Posted by Nathan

Hi Nathan - That would depend on the type of bars you're using, as they use slightly different wall thickness. The easiest way to check would be to measure the inside of the end of your bars, and see which size it correlated to best. I would expect it to be around the size of the Medium star nut roughly. Thanks, Mark

hi i was wondering what would be the best fit for echo urban 26" forks ?

Posted by thomas hall

Hi Thomas - A Medium star nut should do the trick for most years of Echo Urban fork, although to double check you can always measure the inner diameter of your steerer tube and compare it to our star nut sizes. Thanks, Mark

Hey guys, which of these would fit the clean forks? Thanks!

Posted by Joenu

Hello - The Medium star nut seems to fit best. Thanks, Mark

Hi, what size would fit an 24" Echo Urban 2013 fork? Thanks,

Posted by Austin

Hi Austin - you would require a Medium star nut for those forks. Hope that helps. Thanks, Flipp.

What size would be appropriate for the try-all carbon ?

Posted by Killingtvedt

Hi Killingtvedt - the Try-All Karbon forks feature a threaded insert in the steerer meaning you do not need a star nut. Thanks, Flipp.

What size would be appropriate for the rockman carbon forks?

Posted by Tom Evans

Hi Tom - you would need a "Small" star nut for those forks. Thanks, Flipp.

Posted by Henri

Hi Henri - thanks for your question. You'd need an "Extra Large" star nut to fit those forks. Thanks, Flipp.

Posted by ashley

So much less hassle than cutting down a big one!

Hi Ash - They're certainly a handy addition! Thanks for the review.

Callum

Nifty replacement

Posted by Callum

Again just an odd little sod that you need. :D Thanks guys!!

Hi Callum - It is handy having the sizes needed for trials forks - they can sometimes be pretty tricky to get hold of from regular shops due to them being an odd size. Thanks for the review!
