I'd like to chime in to say that on Rivendell bikes, you need to have the stem inserted somewhat more than the Max line would suggest. With the longer threaded portion of steerer tube that Riv uses, putting a stem at the max line may still leave the wedge in the threaded portion of a stem. as an extreme example, I found that a Profile Boa stem could not be used on my Atlantis due to this. The stem simply could not be inserted deep enough to get the wedge below the threads in the steerer. I like to hold the stem up next to the headtube and mark the stem with a new line that shows me how much it needs to be inserted to get the top of the wedge well below the upper headset cup.
