Ha! Thanks, Ed. It might be better in the storytelling than real life.
Oh, I found a pic of Baby Bear on his bike, in case anyone was wondering...

It's a bad idea. You're taking material out of a thing designed to have
that much material, which isn't a huge deal for a shifter - you just lose a
shifter - but if you squeeze a brake lever going downhill at 25mph and the
clamp pops instead of pads contacting rim or disc? Buddy you got
One could take some sandpaper to the inside of the clamp area, widen the
diameter. Or is that a Really Bad Idea? Please consider your answer, and
not just a knee-jerk 'dear god no!'

Yay for bike shops solving problems! I'll be facing this, too, when my new
anodized headset spacer shows up for my Susie. Both my bikes came to me
with perfecty-adjusted-by-Riv headsets and I've left well enough alone.
I'll have to pull the topnut on the Susie to swap spacers and will then go

Yeah, I'm feeling for the REI folks. I think there's no huge deal here, it
seems the housing has settled itself, the metal portion's likely found its
way to the bottom by now. I assume Peter's concern is that the bike shop
didn't see that the housing was fully housed itself. As for catastrophic
I got it handled! The headset nut (or whatever) needed 1/8th of a turn and then
it all snugged up nicely. Got the brake cable/housing sorted out, too. The
anodizing was unhurt in the process. Relief! I know it’s not rational but I am
extra attached to this bike and I get anxiety when things are
Kai, the famous and wonderful Peter White caught that, got me on the phone and
has me addressing it. Apparently this issue can be fairly catastrophic... I’m
at REI as I type this and I have a bad feeling though. The mechanic seems to
not see this as a big deal... I have the worst luck at bike
Which shop got that brake housing all bunched up on the front (ripples of
plastic piling out of the noodle)? They might be in a rush...

Clarifying my response about REI, It's in response to concerns about the
ano finish on her headset. I'm sure REI would be careful, too, I just know
the other shop knows those bikes well and are meticulous about them.

Leah,
If it turns out to be the headset (which is my bet), then like Joe said,
it's a thing that happens sometimes with new builds. I just wanted to add
that it's unlikely that anything is damaged after a short ride with it just
a bit loose. Def important to get it fixed ASAP, but I think
Looking for a pair of Paul short pull levers, in black.

It sounds like a problem I had not too long ago. A slight feeling of
looseness with an occasional squeak eventually was tracked to a not fully
tightened quill stem bolt. I loosened and removed the stem from the
headset completely. Cleaned and greased the threads that pull the wedgie
thing
I hope the industry wonks are noting the inattention (other than the
