If you don't want to cut your steerer tube you could always just add a 10mm spacer above your stem.
I bought some new spacers to go with a new stem for my Kilo. The bike originally came with 50mm worth of spacers. I wanted less and with me being a noob only bought 40mm worth of new spacers without even considering the fact that the steerer tube would then be sticking up past the stem.
Is my only option if I want a shorter stack to get the tube cut? Is this a relatively quick and easy thing for a bike shop to do?

So are a lot of things. I'm not here to talk about them all.
I think people who eat pizza with a fork are pretty silly.

Dude, that pizza has nothing on it. I'm not talking about not being able to pick up some bare-ass slice, I'm talking about some fully loaded meat-loving ****.
Signature worthy!

ive itched to ask this question for probably a year now.... why is no one ever talking about the halo rims and hubs... ive had one of their wheelset (aerotrack) for a little more than a year and am nothing but amazed by the performance of it and its sturdiness. I have friends throwing canadian winters at them and they still ride silky smooth.
Ive been following this thread and forum for a while but rarely have seen reference to it.
Maybe im flooding this thread with useless questions, but i feel they deserve recognition.

I know someone riding the Halo AeroWarrior track wheelset and it's pretty awesome (even by my extremely picky wheel standards).
My shop used to offer Halo track hubs and very literally, nobody bought them.

always fold. especially in the beginning, and eat the unstable portion in one bite, regardless of size.

Folding a slice of pizza is a New York move for sure. I'm eating, not making paper airplanes.
we dont got time for luxuries n **** like savoring our food in new york, were ****ing busy. inhale food as rapidly as possible so we can make it to the board meeting and fire 12% of the company in 3.4 minutes
I defy you to tell me how to fold this (without making a bigger mess that is).

Don't get me wrong, I've had some foldable slices that were great, but sometimes, you gotta pull out the fork (and, yes, this is still pizza no matter what some people say).

In Italy, you order a pizza and you get a pizza, the whole thing, no slices and you eat from one side to the other with a fork and knife.
Fold, and let the tip point downwards. Don't hold it horizontally until after those critical first two bites.
In Rome, do as the Romans.
I am sorry. One does not simply pick up a piece of Chicago style pizza and "fold it."
