Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That's good that you didn't, but most people are probably thinking you have 40mm of spacers above the cone, as that part is generally not considered when people talk about the amount of spacers they have. So effectively you have 20mm of "rings" above the cone, which really isn't as "tall" as it initially seemed.
