cleaning up the front end - cantilever brakes
i recently switched from a stem with an integrated cable stop to one without a cable stop. obviously that required getting one of those headset spacer mounted stops. it wasnt anything special, just something i grabbed from the bins at the co-op. my only requirements at first was that it was black and 1/8”.
if i put the hanger directly on top of the top of the chris king faceplate thing, it doesnt sit flush. if i put a spacer between the two, then the hanger sits flush, but then even with the flexible brake noodle theres a crazy aggressive bend in the brake cable. also the od of the hanger doesnt match my spacers. does anyone have a more elegant solution? my fork is not drilled at the crown so those are out of the question.

There are hangers with more drop and clearance for large headtubes, I've used both IRD and Tektro. Neither was ideal for my application so I went with a Ritchey CX headset (which appears to be no longer available, but I have an extra if it floats your boat). I ultimately ditched the Ritchey in favor of where you started (a stem with integrated hanger) since it's an S&S travel bike.

whoa is that one sandwiched between the faceplate meant to hang off a seatbinder? seems extremely sketchy.

Seems like it calls for a Paul Funky Monkey or [oops, just saw no fork mount possible]. The Pauls are muy bueno--lots of vertical travel and easy to turn the screw--makes setup and adjustment easy.

I have this on my Guru and even with a 1cm spacer I've been having a hard time getting it to fit as clean as I want it too.

Otherwise, I just bought some Jagwire elite link housing, hopefully that helps clean things up even more!

+1 for Ritchey
I have that Ritchey CX headset. I quite like it. More than I expected. Cable entry is about as low as for those long-drop-style headset spacer cable stops but the entry angle is much more flexible. Helped me a great deal with cable routing, particularly with avoiding a sharp bend in the cable housing.
