Probably the obvious question, but have you tried a shorter stack stem?

 

[fatboyonabike]

there are 4 levels of Circus
sport and comp (comp is in the link you posted), both are pretty basic and quite heavy as they have steel stanchion
the expert and pro have alloy stanchions and much better damping and rebound control and readily available upgrades
short answer...no, but thanks for looking out for me

I am already running a DMR DEFY low stack..

I was just looking on Fleebay for something else and saw this, is it an option?
Steerer extender
Another one the same

i had a mate who taught engineering at tafe, he had a couple of students turn me 2 on a lathe - could feel it flex with little weight on it, seemed like it neede to be threaded to not wiggle

How long was the spigot that went down into the existing steerer? If it was to be semi permanent then some retaining compound would probably sort it out.

that would probably work..
the stack height of the stem is 35mm, and I am about 10mm short down into the stem, leaving about 25mm of steerer actually clamped by the stem
If I used this, I could run 10mm of steerer spacers, then the junction of the adaptor and the steerer would be somewhere in the middle of the stem..
saved in my watch list, but will just see if anything else pops up.
Correction: stack height is only 27mm, no stem spacers fitted either!
