Review on πŸš€ FSA 1-1/8" Compressor Top Cap: Optimize Speed and Performance by Nathan Byard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Smart, well done on the headset

My first experience with a carbon fork, this compression plug is new territory. It's well thought out. The fork is tightened radially, separate from the top cap, which tightens axially to properly preload the headset. Maybe they're all like that, but I'm a fan of correct torque notation. I was a little confused by the "no mtb" warning in the instructions, but another reviewer already sorted it out. The old Raleigh is coming out of retirement as a commuter/city assault vehicle. Should be fun.
