2015-05-26 Thread Matt B.
Just make sure the wedge is down past the threaded portion of the 
steerer.   On Rivendell frames the threaded portion is long, so just to be 
on the safe side you might want to hold the stem next to the HT and 
visually see how high the stem can be, and mark it yourself with a sharpie 
or some tape.

The Technomic is made in a 260mm that can be hunted out in UK and Japan  
Quick shopping found this very inexpensive option from the UK available as 
tall as you might want to go

As to your original question, I've always taken the tack that if you can't 
see any of the insertion warning engraving you're doing OK

I've always meant it be minimum insertion into steerer tube, on threaded 
headsets that's just slightly below the top headset nut.
