    I'm almost done building my first cyclocross bike. The frameset is a
    Cannondale 58cm XR800 from maybe five years ago, with a cut-down 1"
    threadless steerer. I've got a 1-1/8" Ritchey Comp stem on it with a shim
    and a 4mm spacer and a cable hanger for a 1" steerer also acting as a
    spacer. (You can't see the 4mm spacer under the flared hanger, but it's
    there.) It's a tight fit:

    Any of you have solutions and/or photos of how you've dealt with this
    situation? I will try to find another hanger tomorrow. I guess I just need
    a deeper-drop hanger, or one with less adjuster and a shorter cable stop.

    Tektro make some with a decent drop. No adjuster, but once you've taken
    out the initial cable stretch, front brake pads wear quite slowly
    (cleaner rim).
