they usually come with the headset NOT the forks

as simple said, you can get them for a couple of quid

My Reba didn't have a star nut in the box.

Nope.
Normally with the headset. But get a headlock instead much better.

Well in my experince with star nuts they slipped.
Headlock, is so much easier to fit no fannying about with a hammer etc.
Just drop the headlock down the steerer, screw the base in preload and you're off.

Or you can use a 28.6mm seatpost clamp on the steerer tube to load the bearing, you can then set the stem where-ever you like, without the need for spacers!

There was no starnut with the Darts my dad bought.

Buy a headlock for it, it's a much nicer system than a starnut, you can get them off CRC but I've seen Amoeba ones in my LBS for about œ6 got one on my bike and it works brilliantly

from experience, head doctors are a real pain to fit, but once its in there, they stay put. i had to remove the o ring to get mine into the steerer on my RS Revelations

Head Doctor is different to a Headlock.

I've always used an FSA Conix, never had a problem with them.
