Hello, I wanted a lower/more aggressive position on my Cannondale synapse. I flipped the stem and put the 4 mm of spacers above it. Ive been using it like this for 3 months or so and it suits me well. It gave me at least a 1mph boost in speed and the lower position hasn't caused any back problems.
I've been researching stems and thinking of getting a stem lower and longer. Upon researching the subject, it seems Cannondale strictly prohibits spacers above the stem for safety reasons. Have you heard of anyone having problems caused by spacers above a stem with cannondale?
I'm going to take it to a shop tomorrow and have them trim it. Could care less about resale value,changing position later, or anything like that, just want to be safe and comfortable.
