I recommend that you put an extra 5 mm spacer above the stem. This will allow you to place the expansion plug behind the stem for better support. Cut the stem 2 or 3 mm below the top of the upper spacer. When tightening the stem pinch bolts do not exceed 5 nm (44 inch pounds) of torque. I use 40 inch pounds.
