I'm not sure if this is best off here or in Road Buying Advice but here you go....

I brought home a Cannondale Synapse yesterday which has a KP017 Evo SI Expanding Compression Wedge/Headset;

Now I've not used a headset like this before, so to eliminate any play after any changes I'm not sure what tools/adapter I could use for it.

I currently have the following tools;

Ritchey 5Nm Version;

Does anyone know of any tools/adapters that can be used with any of the above to correctly torque the Cannondale Headset as the expander bolt sits pretty far down from the top cap (which has a pretty small hole)?

Thank You

    Ok, ignore that question.

    I just took it a part and the large top cap in the exploded view completely unscrews from the expander bung, wasn't obvious (to me at least as I thought it may not come off to save dropping the bung down the steerer) from the manual that you could do that, so you can just use a hex bit or whatnot.
