Most carbon forks have tapered steerers and won&#8217;t work with a typical 36mm head tube. Columbus and Tange have both created an elegant tapered head tube, 46mm OD at the bottom and 36mm OD at the top, but until now a lower lug to fit hasn&#8217;t been available. Available in stainless steel and steel options, this lug solves the problem. It&#8217;s designed with enough extra surface to allow it to be shaped to match existing 36mm top lugs, or it can be used as-is with no carving.
