No, no - this is solid brainstorming.
AND, there's no reason that OneUp couldn't combine an [**EDC Lite tool**](https://nsmb.com/articles/oneup-edc-lite-tool/) with a carbon expansion plug.
Actually, since road headtubes/steerer tubes are significantly longer than mountain bikes for a given size probably just a drilled out version of this Threadless Carrier with the bolt going from the inside into an expansion plug would work.
In order to insert would need to go pretty far into the steerer but it would be easy enough to integrate it with the EDC Carrier so that it would not fall in. Basically, it would work exactly like an FSA carbon steerer compression plug except instead of the adjustment being at the stem cap they would be inside the EDC Carrier.
Actually, I'm fairly confident I have the stuff around to make one so if I have a bit of time on the weekend I'll see about that!

Really simple for 1-1/8" steerers. A bit more complex for a tapered steerer depending on where the taper happens as most compression plugs don't expand much - but he, I'm sure the collective smarty-pantses at OneUp could figure that out. If you'd like to see it happen I'd suggest dropping them an e-mail (and get all your friends to as well).
