Whilst the thread's back up, I have another issue:
Can I slam the stem?!
The Nitto Pearl seems to have an annoyingly long steerer shaft so, as my frame is quite small, the stem won't go all the way into it before it reaches the butting on the inside of the forks. Is there anything I can do about this? Maybe file the bottom of the bolt so it's a bit slimmer? Or mill the stem shaft.. (but presumably that's butted on the inside and I'll loose all my teeth if I cut it?)
I'd like to lower it about 15mm to get the riding position I'm after:
...I reeeeally don't want to have to start rethinking the finishing kit again!
