Hello,

I am putting back my compression plug into my steerer (carbon fiber) after adjusting the stem. I know this is a part of the bike where you don't want it to fail.

Things I learned from watching youtube videos:
- Make sure compression plug is positioned underneath the stem
- Make sure to tighten compression plug screw to the specified torque (using torque wrench)
- Make sure to tighten stem to the specified torque

I can also take it to a shop and have it done for around $30. I just don't like the idea of having to take it to shop every time I need to adjust my stem.

Is it perfectly safe to do it myself (tightening to the right torque) or is it best to take it to a shop?

Thanks
