Ich habe das gleiche Problem wie Liam. Nicht kaufen!!!
Ich glaube das liegt am Design des Expanders. Die Raue Oberfläche und der Anschlag Oben führt dazu das im ungünstigen fall nur der Untere Konus den großen Teil der Klemmkraft aufnimmt und das Carbon bricht. Der Specialized Expander ist meiner Meinung nach der beste den ich bisher in der Hand hatte. Da besteht nur das Problem des Entfernens. Bitte überarbeiten, zu mindestens die Anleitung das man Ihn vorspannt. Durchmesser oberer und unterer Konus gleich Innendurchmesser Gabelschaft und oben nicht aufliegend sodass der Obere Konus sich reinziehen kann, und 5 Nm sollten auch reichen.
Deeply regret purchasing the ancora. I installed this in a Time ADHX fork, and torqued the compression bolt. Before I reached the specified 9nm, the steerer cracked under the pressure. The plug is now stuck in the steerer (not that I’ll ever use this part again in the future.) The wrench has been calibrated, and the steerer was brand new. And Time is renowned for the quality of their carbon manufacturing. Very hard for me to understand why such high pressure is specified for this part—it’s higher than the specs of other similar parts. I’m currently waiting for Time to determine the warranty status, but I expect to be charged for a new fork. To me this is inexcusable on the part of cane creek. Why do you design a compression plug that requires 9nm when other similar parts on the market have lower values. And even if the stem should be installed on the steerer to counteract the outward pressure from the plug (which I doubt) why is this not made clear in the instructions? Extremely disappointing. I have multiple helms, eewings, eebrakes, hellbender-based bb’s and headsets, all phenomenal, but this product and its installation instructions have resulted in a very dangerous failure. The worst part: if I hadn’t noticed the crack, I’d be relying on a compromised steerer while bombing mountain road descents at 50mph+. Just egregious. DO NOT BUY!
Verified OwnerCompression ring did not fit inside the bearing for my fork. I used the old bearing and crown race.

Bjorn, we’re terribly sorry to hear of this experience. We will be reaching out to you immediately to see if we can help the situation. Ancora’s design and torque spec are derived from another very popular compresison plug on the market, and though the torque rating is indeed higher than some, there are others from major bike manufacturers that fall in the same range. We’d love to work with you in any way we can.
