Piling on,+'s .. steel steerer tube is a must, I'd not like digging big scratches
in an aluminum steerer banging one in,
(edit) I note reading dealer catalogs,
there is a special star nut made just for aluminum steerers)
and carbon is a big Nyet. compression clamp/nut probably better..
for CF & Al.
