Sorry - I just saw this. Yes, I swapped for the Canyon Long Stem. I am also running much longer, angled extensions, and the Profile Design 15° angled wedges under the arm pads. I’m also running TriRig Mini arm cups that allow me to get a bit further forward. Since this pic I went for less of an angle on the extensions - ends up being somewhere ~15° (partially based on Desert Dude’s recommendations).
I did consider the 9° spacer, but it was never available when I looked. For IMCHOO I widened the pads just a bit and just ran a bottle on the extensions (which I prefer over integrated/bottle with straw systems). I’m looking at options now to get the bottle up higher between my arms and get my pads back closer together for next season. I’m much more comfortable riding like this, with zero issues staying aero for the 5:30 it took me to do the 116 at Chattanooga.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. . .
