I am trying to become more aero and lower my handle bars. I am currently riding with two spacers above my headsteam, but cannot move/remove the last two spacers below that, so that i could slide my stem lower. My wife is convinced that the bottom two spacers are not spacers like the top two (although they look identical) and that they are connected to the bike on a permanent basis. I am not completely convinced.
If successful, this would permit me to put them stem at that point that it essentially connects with the wider part of metal that has 'Cane Creek' stamped on it - sorry i don't what that part of the bike is called. Is this what is supposed to happen? Or is this 'cane creek' part connected permanately to the bottom two spacers meaning that I am as low as I am going to get?
I have tried removing the spacers with anti-rust types of stuff like Rp-7 and CRC (I am an Aussie so the brand names may not be familiar), and some multi-grips etc but they are not budging.
In the intrests of promoting peace and harmony (at least within our household) can anybody enlighten me? If they are supposed to be moveable, any tips beyond what I have already tried would be appreciated.
