Purchased after using a short expander plug that that kept loosening and caused the ring of death on a fork. The Ancora plug and it's length have all contact points and clamping holding solid. For the folks that have had cracking issues. You should find out what torque setting the carbon manufacturer suggest. The fork I have is a 5.5nm torque and have had no slipping or loosening issues. Highly recommend the Ancora.
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!
Amazing bearing set. I recently purchased this specific set of bearings for my Knolly Chilcotin. I knew my bearing were getting a bit worn but, I didn’t realize what a difference upgrading to the Hellbender Stainless Steel bearings would make. My steering is so much more responsive. A quick test I did was rolling down a reasonably level area with no hands on the bars. My bike went exactly where I wanted with little effort! Also riding through technical sections my bike responded quickly to steering input making it easier to clean those sections. I wish I had done this sooner. Thank you Cane Creek! As always, your products are premium quality. I will buy these again but, I don’t know when, these are bomb-proof bearings! 😉
Thank you for the awesome review! We’re so stoked you’re loving the bearings. Bike looks amazing too! Sweet ride.
Everything arrived timely and in good condition. Been riding the bearings for >5000km now and they’re a fantastic product.
We’ll see how it does for longevity but it’s still smooth after a wet, muddy ride that killed the bottom bracket bearings so that is a good sign!
