i have quite a bit of steerer showing and use about 2.5 inches of spacers…should i position the tightener on the top of the steerer or down inside the steerer nearer where the brakes are…looking down the fork steerer i see white foam inside…so, the tightener thing…down low, where the stem is or right at the top?
-
Make sure you have the very thin - 0.1mm spacers between the headset cap and the bearing. You need to make sure the top cap can compress the bearing without hitting the headtube.
-
Make sure you have a least 3mm or so of spacer (or stem) above the end of the steerer tube. The outer lines below are your stem (or a spacer), and the inner one is your steerer.

Again, you need to make sure that you have room to actually compress everything down.
- Make sure you the expansion plug is expanding and locking out and not bottoming out against the top-cap and then expanding.
