That is really the slowest build with lots of user errors.
I changed the stem to a 1" threaded stem with a 25.4 mm bar clamp (Nitto FW33) since I really did not like that weird spacer stack and without ahead cap/function I never got the spacers and the cable hanger installed so that they don't move (only the stem made pressure from the top). After mounting the new stem, I did not like for whatever reason the handlebar anymore, maybe because of the really 'thin' stem look. Of course the cable hanger I had did not fit to the 1" threaded stem anymore. So I got a Paul Funky Monkey and thought like I need a 1" version – and that is wrong, I need a 7/8" version – stupid me. I should measure everything. Lucky me I saw a used one for sale. Also I try another handlebar now, that fits maybe better to the stem. But ... it could be that then the 60 mm threaded stem is too short, but I will see.
All these actions take approx. one week for each part to change.
Mechanics laugh at me for sure! I hate this project.
