Get a Mutiny lifted stem too - that'll bring them up a bit higher, it has zero rise unlike most frontloading stems that actually drop the bars a little

wouldnt it be better to use a normal top loading stem?

Which I think everybody has a few of in their spares box.

S&M have got a new XL race stem. Its the same as the normal race stem (top loading) but its got a longer reach. Ideal for the taller riders.
