The SL7 compression part and decent bearings fixed all the issues i had. Did a few very hard gravel races with it, its holding up fine

No, I think what they've mentioned in the previous post is a compression ring that holds the headset bearing. The compression plug you are showing does not fit in the steerer tube since it's D-shaped.

--> Do not overtighten the expander in the fork. It pushes the top part up. (That was the issue)
I always tighten those very hard but here the expander didn't really like it. Fixed.
Quoted myself in case someone runs in this issue.

Besides that this frame rides like a dream.

Hi!

I have the same issue, headset play. May I ask you how to solve it? Iy worked with some carbon past for some time but after a bump it got loose again.

All the best!

The posts above you, read the last pages. The compression ring and all the tips here will sort it :)
