Featuring a dual-threaded expander bolt and an innovative dual-tier, eight-segment grip system, it ensures a secure, slip-free fit while allowing smooth preload adjustments. Perfect for cyclists demanding reliability and performance without added weight. ## Description Machined aluminum bolt and expander-collar system for use as an internal headset preload plug on carbon-fiber steerer forks. Expander bolt is externally and internally threaded to set expander and accept standard stem preload bolt and top-cap (available separately) Review: A great product if needed - Does not come with a cap and bolt. No issues for me, but just to be clear. It does disassemble into a lot of pieces (but this is the reason it works so well). If you're having issues with a slipping steerer plug, I would highly recommend this one. I have several carbon steerers and had one that just wouldn't snug up. I purchased the deda in an attempt to stop the issue, and it has worked flawlessly. Great product. Review: Featherweight With a Firm Grip - Was having problems with my stock binder creeping loose while riding. The Deda Element is far better at gripping the inside of the carbon steerer tube due to its dual tier design and four segments per tier. A total of eight separate knurled segments grip the steerer and the tightening mechanism is silky smooth. It all adds up to easier tightening with lower pressure required to get the same amount of grip onside your delicate steerer tube. And it is featherweight with an impeccable level of workmanship. ## Features - Size: 23.5mm ID - Carbon Steerer Expander Plug ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 1.7 x 0.8 x 0.5 inches | | Package Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 4 x 4 x 4 inches | | Item Weight | 1.12 ounces | | Brand Name | Deda Elementi | | Color | Silver | | Suggested Users | mens | | Number of Items | 1 | | Manufacturer | Deda Elementi | | Part Number | DZE | | Model Year | 2014 | | Size | One Size | ## Images ![Deda Elementi / TRE Carbon Steerer Expander Plug, 23.5mm - HDEXL23X45 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TfwGU8ByL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great product if needed *by M***. on April 11, 2016* Does not come with a cap and bolt.

Has not come loose once. I prefer the Colnago one but it is longer and a lot more expensive (wouldn't fit one of my bikes) so this was a good option. ## Frequently Bought Together - Deda Elementi / TRE Carbon Steerer Expander Plug, 23.5mm - HDEXL23X45 - Sumind 11 Pieces Bike Carbon Fiber Headset Spacer Bicycle 1-1/8 Inch 20 15 10 5 3 2 1 mm, 7 Size --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/10191148-deda-elementi-tre-carbon-steerer-expander-plug-23-5mm-hdexl23x45](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/10191148-deda-elementi-tre-carbon-steerer-expander-plug-23-5mm-hdexl23x45) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
