Its T-tube and heres a video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrdHuvudwDQ

OR you can use a handlebar and cut off the grip, then just wrap it in tape until it fits nice and snug inside your fork

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

that sounds sketchy

 

[brandon kilbury]

t tubes usually have to get taped up anyways, so any way you do it is sketchy but it all is worth it

taped t tube hammered into fork is good

If you use one of those soft hammers (forget the name) itll go in fine and your threads will be ok.

You can use a normal hammer and it works, just don't hammer the fork threads haha. Bike seat tubes usually work too.
