How many spacers is the recommended max for a cromo steerer? I've got 4.5cm and adding one more (to 5cm) would make things perfect but I kind of feel like I'm pushing the envelope as it is. I can go to an up angle stem if need be or just live with my hands being a little lower than I'd like (its an MTB so hand position is not that critical) but both of those would require cutting the steerer tube which I'd rather avoid if I can.
