stem position and compression plug
Hi
I would like to try out different stem positions before I cut the carbon steerer. The steerer is very long and is therefore much taller than where the stem is to be clamped to it.
I have read that the clamp position should be where the compression plug inside is located to avoid crushing the steerer, but since the steerer is so tall how can I try a lower stem position without clamping it lower than the plug? Is it safe to clamp it below the plug?
Should I just cut the steerer shorter and just give myself a smaller range of stem height to experiment with and then cut it again when I know how low the stem should be?
Thanks in advance.
