I came across a NOS Alpha Q fork that I couldn't resist recently and was offered at a price too good to pass up.
However, the sleeve Alpha Q supplied with the fork had long since gone missing.
Alpha Q is no longer a company and no one makes a sleeve that will work that I can find.
I can't just use a regular expander plug because the walls of this thing are super thin- hence the required sleeve.
So, can I use a super long expander plug in place of the sleeve?
Colnago makes one that is 90mm:

Could this provide enough support?
Or does anyone know of or have an Alpha Q sleeve that I can buy?
Or did I just buy a piece of wall art?
Thanks.
