Gday,
Does anyone have a good method for installing the star nut into the steerer, without buying the park tool for the job.
It looks like once the nut is started then it should drive in straight but getting it started straight could be tricky.
I could turn up a piece of wood that fits inside the steerer and fasten the star nut to that but that does nothing to easy the initial entry.

I used a length of broom handle (a short bit!) and a wooden mallet. The trick is to take it very gently.
cheers
