As I was not confident to apply torque and load to the stem cover, here’s what I’ve been doing on my alpha one: - cut the steerer ~1mm below stem top
- put the alpha one on the fork
- put a conventional stem cap above the stem
- apply preload (I just stop screwing before the steering gets stuck)
- screw the stem side bolts to torque
- remove the conventional stem cap
- put the cover instead (no torque, it’s just a cover)
We thought alike! Except for my steerer being slightly shorter, i did exactly what you did. Hahaha!
Was just curious if this was how it was meant to be.
