I own an old BMC TM01 (2014) that is still quite adjustable in the front part - thanks to 2 angled and 2 regular spacers that allow 32 different stem positions out of the box.
I use Profile Design Svet R basebar + Sonic bracket kit and I can easily set up the position I find comfortable with the spacers only.
Modern tri bicycles use low basebar + spacers setup and I can achieve almost identical position by lowering the basebar and using a pair of additional Profile Design 5mm risers. One potential benefit of that could be a bit lower frontal area when I'm on the hoods. I do not care about an additional 100 grams of weight.
Does the setup with lower basebar (5cm) + a set of spacers have an aero advantage over the higher baserbar with no risers? Does it make sense at all doing it on such a bike?
