You should probably have the spacer on top of the stem.

That stem suits it really well

Cannondale disapproves of this because they are special

Er... how does it make any difference?

They use a special bung that braces the steerer where it is clamped by the stem. If you run a spacer on top, it pulls the bung too high and the lower stem clamp bolt is no longer braced.

Or something. It's in their techdocs, page 16.

^ yup.

What bothers me more is the lack of pictures of scales with parts on them.

you know it only needs that, some deep carbonz + tan walls then it'll be ultimate hhsrb

I almost bought some.... But then I crashed. I'll probably get some next year now as there's no point over the winter.

And more so than the one I actually ordered, a very happy accident.

Less chat, moar weighing.

A happy ending, even.

Yeah im very happy with how it is, the only things I want to do to it now are get @Mechamorgan to swap out my axles for Ti, get some bling summer wheels, and possibly get a new seatpost (im not a huge fan of the clamp, but that me being silly)

Busy tonight?

Has any one ever had a problem because they didn't leave the spacer on top or below?

ya, soz. Tomorrow or weekend?

tomoz afternoon / weekend whenever really. text ya boy

I had one small spacer above the stem on a CAAD10. Was fine. If you have large / lots of spacers above the stem it might be an issue.

Dunno, but my assumtion is that the steerer and headset is designed as a system and meant to be assembled in the way described.

my caad10 had a massive spacer stack on top for about a year, it now has 1. I dont think it will kill you (dont quote me)

it will kill you

I don't need to point out that, becuase something out of spec hasn't failed today, or this year, doesn't mean it won't fail due to being out of spec in the future, do I?

Sigma sport told me to ride around with massive spacer stack above the stem until I am certain I want to get the fork cut down. Am not dead, yet.

Hmmm, maybe I do.

If the spacer were structural, I'm guessing it wouldn't be removable. Or it might have a sticker on it saying "no spacer are death".
