I replaced my stem and it's not quite as "tall" on the steerer tube as the prior one. I guess that's called stack height? Anyway, it's maybe 1-2 mm shorter. Well, it won't go all the way down to the top spacer and, it seems, there is some play. I can see a very slight bit of the steerer tube (fork tube? New to this). Steering isn't a problem. The problem is that when I brake I get a "click," so there's some play. Last night I thought I had it fixed simply by trying to get everything "down," but this evening it seems to have surfaced a bit, though not as bad as at first.
First, is it a huge no-no to ride with it this way? I'd like to commute tomorrow but don't want to cause any damage.
Second, what can I do to resolve this? Just add a spacer?
Thanks much.
