Not to be ‘that guy’ but what’s the _maximum_ number of headset spacers RockShox recommends under the stem? 30mm?
Somewhere between 3cm of spacers and the ‘giraffe’ the leverage on the system between the stem and the upper headset bearing may approach undesirable?
Anyways, for tall folks trying to fit themselves to bikes with comparatively hobbit sized headtubes, ProTaper does a [76.2mm rise bar](https://hayesbicycle.com/collections/protaper/products/protaper-mtb-aluminum-3in-rise-handlebar) with nice geometry and an 810mm length. It’s pretty sweet.
