profile for jimirings on Stack Exchange, a network of free, community-driven Q&A sites

I've been an avid cyclist for over a decade. I raced back in the day and now stick to commuting and touring. I also like to do my own maintenance, rebuild a bike here and there, and whenever I get a new bike (again, not as often as I'd like) I usually pick each part out individually and build it from the ground up.

I've been learning web development for some time now. I'm self-teaching in my spare time, so it's slow progress.

I've also recently discovered the wonderful world of Linux. I wouldn't call myself a "power user" so it's even slower progress than the web development.

I've been working in libraries for over a decade. I'm currently a Senior Public Services Associate at the Daniel Boone Regional Library.

Welcome to Bicycles SE. This site, like other SE sites, does not function like a typical forum. Users on this site ask questions and the community attempts to answer them. This question was about the placement of spacers. Additional advice such as this would be better placed as a comment rather than an answer in its own right.
