The PRO Expander Long is designed to provide a secure, reliable interface between your fork steerer and stem, especially on modern carbon or lightweight alloy setups. Acting as an internal support and anchor point for your top cap and preload bolt, this expander helps distribute clamping forces more evenly inside the steerer. This reduces the risk of damage compared to simple star nuts, making it a popular choice for riders who value both performance and long-term durability of their cockpit components.
Thanks to its extended length, the PRO Expander Long offers increased support deeper into the steerer tube, which is particularly beneficial for carbon forks or riders who run taller stacks of spacers. It is typically easy to install with standard workshop tools and can be adjusted to achieve the correct headset preload, helping to eliminate play and maintain smooth steering. Ideal for road, gravel, and cross-country mountain bikes, this expander is a smart upgrade when building a new bike, swapping to a carbon fork, or refreshing a high-end cockpit for precise, confidence-inspiring handling.
