    Not the FSA carbon one that comes with their top-range headset - it 'walks' meaning you have to constantly re-adjust the headset - tried it in 2 bikes and get the same result each time - the cheaper one without the fancy carbon top cap works fine.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Got 2 of these on the go http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Pro_Headset_Carbon_Expander_Cap/5360042880/ ...no problems at all, well made and kind to carbon, one person on there has brought the star rating down with a comment about height and torque being on the same screw or something, thats just someone being a berk.

    That pro one looks good.

    The on in my carbon steerer is an FSA one at don't look the best, it's quite hard to get the bearings loaded.

    Do hope do a road version of their MTB head-doctor?

    Seconded. The TA expander is an excellent design. Kind to the steerer tube, very solid when locked in. Job done.
