Brent, thatnks for that image. That is super helpful This is my current setup: https://photos.app.goo.gl/bki5sWeQtfKQaLjW6 If the Bullmose is approximatley 105 degree rise, then I'm guessing a Bullbar with Nitto Faceplater 90 Degree and similar effective extension will lower the bars roughly 2cm when slammed. That may not be enough and I don't think it will look worse, asthetically.a slammed Bullmose looks... not bad to me. Rather than spend $250 on new stem and bars, maybe I should cut the fork by 15mm and if that is low enough. I hate to do it, but I'm on the smallest end of the size range for this 48cm frame and so, why not? I feel like that huge stack of spacers was meant for folks much taller than me.
