The brake actually works fine like that and I know its not ideal but it does work. It will get cut down soon.
Joe you're kidding right? I have a lot of experience working on bikes, I have worked in shops and I know what I am doing so don't worry about it.

Mini and Ryan, your bikes are both looking rad.
It's starting to get colder over here so I'm picking up on the riding again, yipee.
And to the idiot a few posts previous, you can do numerous barspins or whips with a good cable before you have to spin it back around, nUb.

There's only one spacer and the SX Top Cap/Spacer. I hate it. I moved the spacer under the stem and am ordering a stem lock as soon as the bike shop calls back.
And Aaron Ross is probably my favorite rider.

Trim your steerer a bit if you don't want the extra bar rise. Although I think having your bars high helps.

Yeah, I actually wanted my bars a little bit higher. I have S&M's and they're an 8" rise too.
