The fsa traditional top cap is specially designed for your daily purpose and has all useful features. It can be used on a carbon rigid fatbike fork. The top cap, that is used to compress the headset assembly, is installed into the expanded piece now inside the steerer tube. Once you set it into the fork tube, it tightens just like a standard star. The gripping area of the expander plug does not grab well enough in an aluminum steerer tube to stay reliably tight in an off road application. It's nice to have the plug at the same height as the stem because there is less chance of crushing the carbon steerer and it adds a little strength to the whole system.
This is an easy part to remove and install just drop in and cinch it down, note that this is only for carbon steerer tubes. This is a great solution if you want to swap forks without relying on a starnut to tighten down the top cap.

It is good for carbon steerer tubes. It has a design for carbon steering tube. This is to support the steerer tube of an all carbon fork from the pressure of the stem and pinch bolts. It is long so it reinforces the entire area the stem clamps to. It keeps the carbon steerer tube from collapsing. There are 2 bolts with this expander. It comes with an alloy lightweight top cap. The other job of protecting the tube from getting crushed by your stem and/or breaking while riding, it does well.
