I shortened the excess length of my seatpost with a dremel, and buffed up my old stem.
..mmmm power-tools.

But since I was worried the contact points might change due to suspension travel, I took the rig out on some trails and listened for the sound of rubbing at certain wheel angles and suspension articulation so that I could clear just the right amount away.

I use my dremel for everything that falls in-between doing something by hand or using an angle grinder. Mine has been going strong for a long time too.
