Spent all weekend wondering whether I can build a variable length stem... :-)
I got the seatpost shim in the post on Sat, so I cut it to length, pulled out the old shim (which just supports the stem) and pushed in the new one (which now goes through the headset spacers too and holds everything concentric). I'm calling that whole lot done.
Today, I am stripping and waxing chains for this project and for my race bike. Its one of those "little" things that all the fast guys seem to know, but no-one ever told me... So, off with the SRAM and on with a DA HG901.
I'm also cutting brake hoses to length and inserting barbs. There's a lot of measuring and a good dollop of procrastination. And coffee.
