Because this isn't a true threadless system, you don't even need the spacers but they do tidy up the appearance a bit. My intent is that users will cut the quill to their desired length depending on their chosen stem and spacer stack, just like a normal threadless system would require of the user. For reference, here is the uncut quill and how I used the bike for a little while (close inspection will reveal the old style top cap in use):
My sister's bike received an early prototype, too, and I only partially cut the quill for that install using a few spacers under the stem:
