currently running macneil silencers but being 6 ft 2" and having broken my back it kinda aches at the end of a long days riding! my forks have been cut down by previous owner which i didnt realise untill i had sold my old ones and fitted these so only one spacer underneath! the fit sky highs seem pretty tall but are htere any other options out there ??

cheers jason

Get a Mutiny lifted stem too - that'll bring them up a bit higher, it has zero rise unlike most frontloading stems that actually drop the bars a little

wouldnt it be better to use a normal top loading stem?

Which I think everybody has a few of in their spares box.

S&M have got a new XL race stem. Its the same as the normal race stem (top loading) but its got a longer reach. Ideal for the taller riders.
