Thanks guys. Got it. Just had to hit the cone shaped pieces a few more times to get it in far enough to be able to crank. I think I've got it adjusted, but something seems to be a bit off. I can see the top couple threads of the lock nut. I thought I'd had it calculated such that the stack height was 40.5 mm and I had a steerer that was 41 mm longer than the head tube (planned on sticking a small washer/spacer in there if needed). The only washer on there is the lock washer and the lock nut has a recession to account for it, so taking that out won't do any good. I don't know if that means something's not fully seated or what. If there are only 2 threads showing on the lock nut, is that going to be a problem as long as I keep it tight and figure the minimum insertion line from the top of the steerer? I'm guessing from what I read on sheldon that it might seat a bit more with some riding and need tightening at that time.
