Yeah, I figured I'd get a fair amount of that kind of response. Fair enough. I take joy in tinkering, I love cycling, and I've always worked at making myself and my bike as light as possible while being durable and reliable.
A glue-in insert to take the top cap bolt seems like a good way to shave a bit of weight and achieve as much, or more, reliability than the traditional expansion plugs. Once you guys see the photos, I think a few souls will be with me.
