Would you do this?

Spacers on the steerer are differing widths/thickness

 

[moorey]

No…but I’d cut the steerer down. Then you won’t need to mismatch.

Yes have done it in a pinch without negative consequences, but they were all the same colour.
What you are showing is truly heinous, shame shame!

 

[leitch]

So annoying. I have done this out of necessity in the past but the wider one goes on the bottom for sure.

+1 will get you through until you can fix your crime.

It's fine even if ugerry. The load on the spacer is bugger all. I have done similar though not a 350mm height like you.

just do it , don't be a pussy......ride it till it hurts..................

Functionality is not bothered by this.

Are you really tall? Why so many spacers (that are also upside down)?

Nope, about 5/10. I'm going to take that silver spacer out to see how it feels, but I already feel like I have too much weight on my hands. Once I'm a bit more used to the seating position I'll make small adjustments (and turn the spacers up the right way, as well as cut the steerer down)

[Ultra Lord]

Yes.
And I never changed it so they would be the same!

 

[Rusty_68]

Just turn the FSA ones so the logo is the right way up...that'll fix it.

Is your saddle tilted forward at all? This can put a heap of pressure on your hands if it is. Costs nothing angling the seat back a little and seeing if it makes a difference for you.

That's alot of spacers especially with riser bars. Is the frame size right? Maybe longer a-to-c fork?

If all that's good then maybe bars with more rise so you can loose some spacers or maybe a stem with more angle.

 

[Labcanary]

@johnny, I do the same thing before committing to cutting the steerer down. I'm so paranoid about cutting it too much, new forks make it even more stressful.

You'll be fine, you won't burst into flames (usually). Most of us have a hodge-podge of spacers and will use what we have. Anything else I say just echoes what others have already said.

Same - I've been caught out plenty of times and put the fatter option on the bottom for a suave aero taper.

I've even mixed alloy and carbon ones!

Carbonificalisation is the word you are looking for, apparently you wee on the parts to stop it happening, has always worked for me.

Fucking genius! Any chance you are bottling this magic piss and selling it? Scotty T's peewee tea has a good ring to it.
