Review on Fouriers Headset Expander Steerer 22 25Mm by Wayne Girard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Robust design good for sport

Very well thought out carbon head tube design. This Fourier extension fork replaced my stock fork on my Cervelo R2. I was a little uncomfortable knowing that the OEM connector was only about an inch or more, so I figured my investment needed something sturdier. I originally replaced the standard connector with a longer Specialized extension connector, but found that it came loose after a few rides. I've tightened it to 9nm as instructed but to no avail, it will loosen over time anyway. I then tried a few other options and found that another steerer tube seal would need to be fitted to the top of the plugs. I alternate between 5mm and 10mm head tube shims for seasonal riding. I lose the flexibility I've noticed during the winter months, so from 10mm to 5mm as my riding progress and flexibility increases from early spring through fall. However, I would need to add 2mm shim to compensate for the thickness of the clevis. With this Fourier expander plug I didn't have to add an extra 2mm spacer, instead the headset looked cleaner. Great strong product!
