OneUp Components EDC Tap

No, the EDC Tap is designed to be used while the fork is still installed on your bike. The kit includes a self-aligning guide that ensures you can cut the threads accurately without needing a workshop stand or full disassembly.

No, this tool is strictly for use with 1-1/8 inch threadless alloy steerer tubes. You should never attempt to tap a carbon steerer tube, as it will compromise the structural integrity of the fork.

The gauge is a safety check included with the star nut puller. It allows you to verify that your steerer tube has the correct inner diameter to safely accept the EDC Threaded Top Cap before you begin the tapping process.

You will need a standard tap handle to turn the tap, as one is not included in the kit. Beyond that, you will need basic bike tools to remove your existing top cap and stem bolts to access the steerer tube.

No, the star nut is a single-use component. Once you use the included puller to remove it, you will need to discard it and replace it with the EDC Threaded Top Cap system.
