My big winter bike project is building a bike from the frame up. The bike has a carbon fork (and carbon steerer tube) with integrated crown races. It came with a compression plug that’s a bit different from others I’ve seen. Before I screw things up too badly, I just wanted to check in to make sure I understand this right.
After installing the headset, spacers, and stem (and ensuring that the top spacer rises a few mm above the top of the steerer tube):
1) Slide the compression plug around 10mm into the steerer tube;
2) Tighten the bolt & top cap to the recommended torque (the bolt will tighten into the top of the plug);
3) All done until I decide whether and where to cut the steerer tube, in which case I’ll need to remove the compression plug and re-install it.Surely I’m missing something!
