Hi everybody,

The subject line pretty much says it all. I'd like to know exactly what kind/brand of adhesive is used for the alu. insert in Alpha Q carbon steerer forks.

Thanks,
Mike

The couple of Alpha Q forks I've installed included the adhesive. Absent that I suspect it would be a good idea to contact Alpha Q or the lbs where you purchased the fork. Having the insert be secured in the steerer tube with a compatible adhesive would seem to be important.
