Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

stem slamming

I am thinking about slamming my stem and I was wondering if you need a spacer on top of the dust cover or if you can put the stem right on top of the dust cover

If your stem is the same height or slightly higher than the steerer tube, no

Are you going to be more comfortable in that position? Or is it purely for looks or cool factor?
