At least tighten the stem to the minimum that doesn't cause it to slip.
Well ok genius, we both mispoke, you because as usual you should have minded your own business since you had no idea what you were talking about, me because I forgot it was a non issue but since were still here I'll clue you in.
You can build all the bikes you want with fugly threadless, have at it.
This frame was partly built around the oldschool Campy HS, non-negotiable, glad you think you're smarter than Dave Levy, you're not.
The extended HT was to make the frame fit my unusual measurements, fork threading and long steerer was to facilitate it as well.
So here's the rub, maybe you can see how it works.
Even you should be able to see that the whole expander is well below the threads.
So you didn't know, assumed I was stupid but still should have kept your mouth shut, as usual.
