Sorry, my post was unclear. I used Cannondale only as an example.
Anyway, a mechanic did install the star nut but not while at a shop (so no liability), and the fork doesn't need cutting to fit my frame. It is an IRD (Interloc Racing Design) Mosaic carbon fork.
I'm just curious because it is a used fork and if it hasn't failed yet, would the change really be that drastic that sudden? The steering was always torqued to specs as well.
