Is this specific to carbon steerer tubes?
This particular bike has a carbon fork w/ alloy steerer tube, but my other Cannondale bike has a carbon steerer tube. The shop just adjusted the fit and lowered that stem a bit, and it now has a single spacer above the stem. I'm wondering if I need to bring it back in and have them cut it down, even though it's only 5mm.
