One wants the expander/pressure plug's tightness to be greater than the top caps. Otherwise when turning the top cap bolt the plug could turn with it and move about within the steerer ID. I get far less concerned about absolute torque levels than I do with the relative interactions the various parts have and how their tightnesses work with each other. Andy.
