I found the same thing so I pulled it out and put carbon paste around expander before tightening again.
Second question, I prefer the added support the top cap provides. I tried a Extralite expander and could see the steerer deformed when stem was torqued.

Are you now using the standard top cap again. I was thinking of getting an ultrastar for my evo build.

Thanks for your heads up, I just bought a Evo and will keep an eye on the topcap. Interesting idea, so you do not need to remove the preload when tweaking the stem as I dial in the fit.
Let's finish the ride with a 20% grade.

You do not add preload with a gum gum, you first set preload with a real expander such as the stock one then remove and install your gum gum/tune cap ect.

Typical savings are 35-50 grams, lots of grams for the buck, even go cheap with an omni racer carbon cap/expander at $15 and 15 grams, did that one on my Super X and the tune/gum gum on the Evo(14 grams).

gumgum worked just fine on my first ride with it on my evo. it was a very small ride, like 5 miles, but I intentionally hit as many potholes as I could just to try it. all handed fine so far. on a less note, my mechanic did all for me, as Im still learning my way into assembling all parts.
