Well, maybe I mislabeled my top cap and called it a compression plug. It very well may be a 1" threaded fork, I got it a few years ago and don't remember the specifics. Like I said, it's an older steel bike that came with an quill stem and steel fork. I replaced the steel fork with a carbon one so it might be of the threaded kind. Does that change anything?
