Hi All

I have just completed some fettling and moved a spacer from below the stem to above - have I just broken rule #45?

I quite like the more racier position (I always felt a little upright) does it look too far below the seat hight, maybe more importantly does the 2 spacers above look a bit naff?

Cheers

    No and no.

    Doesn't look like too much drop, and if you want to you can cut the steerer to be able to remove one of the spacers.

    No, but youve completely smashed #46. That bar angle cannot be comfy on your wrists

    Probably want no spacers under the stem or even a -17 deg angle stem and rotate the bars back up to horizontal at the top
