hereforthebikes on May 9, 2024 8:10 pm I think you know the answer. You have a steerer tube extender on top of a full length steerer tube.
Ok-Imagination8173 on May 9, 2024 8:38 pm Most manufacturers have a specified maximum stack height above headset it’s probably 50mm of spacers between headset and stem.

korkkis on May 9, 2024 9:40 pm Use a bmx handlebar or at least a high riser instead. That’s dangerous what you have there. Here’s a reference – https://billo.bike/2022/11/12/bmx-bars-for-michels-1994-gt-corrado/comment-page-1/ – https://www.reddit.com/r/xbiking/s/1qUdZV4bVL
mikesova34 on May 9, 2024 9:43 pm lol. You’re trying to hard to make drop bars work on that bike. Why raise your stem so much just to have drop bars? Just run riser bars.

Yes.

You need to switch handlebars to something with rise, not drop.

Riser bars are a thing. Riser bars are cool. This, not so much.
