Q & A

Wanted to confirm the 9 Nm torque spec, which is higher than the 4 Nm torque spec on the generic compression plug that came with my Ritchey fork. John M asked on September 10, 2023

If you are referring the Ancora expansion preload, yes. You should torque the Ancora preload to 9Nm.

Does Cane Creek make a 1-1/4" version for 1.25" carbon steerer tubes? Thanks Trent asked on June 20, 2023

We do not for carbon steer tubes. We do have 1.5" and 1.25" star nuts but these should not be used in Carbon forks.

Thin and weak then broken. It might be overtorque.

Cant have the headset without these! Ordered a spare as I run a few different fork set ups, so having them all ready to go with races in place speeds up the swaps!

Position: Design Engineer
Year started: 2022
Best part of being a part of the Cane Creek family:  It’s very refreshing to work for a small, tight-knit company where we all share the same passions and to develop new products that make cycling better for everyone.
What you’ll find me doing on the weekends: Obviously riding bikes, but also wrenching on bikes or cars, exploring the mountains, and watching F1 races.
How I got here (at Cane Creek): Feeling pretty unfulfilled with a corporate engineering job, I happened to see that Cane Creek was hiring. I jumped at the opportunity to get my hands dirty working on the latest bike tech and was fortunate enough to be offered the position.
