Raising slammed stem
Moderator: robbosmans
How safe/unsafe is this:
Used Colnago bike
Colnago fork expander are usually 3in long
The bike is slammed, so the fork has been cut.
Is it possible to place a 10mm spacer below the stem, get discarded carbon fork tube from LBS, cut 10mm off, place it on top of my fork tube and secure it with expander, stem and cap?

I would not even consider this as a repote possibility.
Invert the stem or contact your local carbon tech shop to extend the steerer tube.

Maybe flip a 17/20 deg stem? If that's not enough, put riser road bar like S-Works Aerofly on.

Are you looking to suffer a serious trauma?

If you are only looking for 10mm, a zero-degree rise stem will easily get you that much vertical height at the bars (assuming your stem is a modest 6 degrees, at least 100mm and you haven't already flipped it). Easton EA90 with Ti bolts is a nice light option with reasonable aethetics.
If you've flipped your stem already, consider going to a 10 or 12 degree stem... Revisiting highschool trigonometry... I think roughly speaking that for a 100mm stem, every 6 degrees gives about 10mm in bar height change.

thanks for the advise. Time to look for a 'higher' degree stem.

It’s only 10mm, keep riding it and soon enough you’ll get used to the position.
