Next on the list, we've got yet another nut that manages to win our hearts. It's the neco star nut for mountain bike and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient nut you can buy. This is the best expander for your carbon bike and aluminum bike. It is made in Taiwan, high quality components and surface treatment, excellent strength for all heavy duty cycling. The long option is about 3 inches long and goes well past the top bearing. The extra long covers the entire stem clamping area and goes 1/4” past the upper headset bearing. It catches the sides with enough force to wedge itself in without deforming the tube, which would result in a fork that will be headed to the trash heap. The more surface area you can cover the better the expander will hold.
These plugs with more surface area require more torque, not in the instructions. It is more stronger and safer.

The fsa star nut for mountain bike is capable of outshining several other nut featured in this list in overall features in its price range. If you have a 1 1/8 carbon steerer and need an expander plug, this is a great choice. 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 star nut would score the carbon if pounded in place so this is designed to grip inside the steerer using expansion pressure that you apply using a hex key. 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.
