That being said, why didn't you file the hole in the current star nut that was already in your fork and then route the plug wires and capacity through the bottom of the fork and then fish it through the star nut in the first place? After filing the holes on the star nut, where the wire ends with the white connector, was it able to pass through the holes? I also noticed the the wires on the cables are thin. I won't be surprise that the star nut(it is sharp) will cut into the wires later with vibrations. I am thinking of putting electrical tape at that area. Think I will do that. Do you experience rattling of the capacity inside the steerer tube? I think of wrapping the excess cable and capacity in the tube foam. As you have noticed, I have all these questions as I am doing a dry run currently. Lastly, was there anything that you would have done differently since installation? Thanks!
FYI - The last activity on this forum by the OP was in 2018. He likely gets an e-mail with your question, but it might go into a spam folder.
