OK, I lied, I'm not quite done. As per my SOP, cheap carbon spacers are on order from China. Might take another few weeks. But I got the wheels yesterday, and had time today to take pics and post.

I did borrow spacers from another bike to install the stem with proper headset tightness, and at least I put the cap back on! Before this I was riding this bike around with the steerer tube open, until a friend warned me that in a crash, I could core myself. I can't bring myself to cut the steerer; it's can't be undone, and with a taller steerer I'll have the option of swapping spacers around to get various stem heights for various rides.
