## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for repairing the frame of an old Weber grill
*by L***Y on November 18, 2016*

Used these in both ends of the bar at the bottom of the frame of an old Weber Silver grill - the original bolts had completely rusted out. Took a little MacGyvering to get them into the ends of the bar, but worked out great. Now, the grill frame is as sturdy and steady as ever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Fit
*by F***S on April 19, 2020*

Perfect fit on my 1 1/8" straight tube. No issues with the threads either. I strongly recommend buying the star nut installation tool or taking to your local bike shop. I was not able to tap star nut into the steerer tube myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tight fitting, strong, and no defects
*by B***Y on March 2, 2016*

It's a simple, reliable part that I've purchased and installed twice; the first time to install a new replacement suspension fork on a 26" MTB; the second time to do the same on a 29er MTB. Without any previous experience I installed them to the exact depth via a Park Tool TNS-1 star-spangled nut setting tool. They set perfectly and have held up to the abuse of mountain biking despite the bikes being exposed to occasional rainfall.TIP: If your steerer tube was permanently attached to the fork by the fork manufacturer, then you've got a considerable investment that could become compromised or even ruined by misinstalling this part. Don't take a chance by being too cheap to purchase a dedicated tool for its precise insertion to the correct depth. You can always use the tool to upgrade or repair another of your own bikes, or those belonging to your riding friends.
