Ideally that is the cleanest way to do it, but this is on my cross bike so I have a lot of steerer (85mm). The amount of steerer will be more than the height of the shim so there is not enough shim height to stack 1 1/8" spacers from the headset to stem. If I went with all 1 1/8" spacers, I would have to get extra shims to enable me to stack spacers like that. The spacers would then be stacked on diametrically uncompressed shims. Are there any issues with that?
I'd like to stick with the 1" spacers if possible. Will it work safely with the 1" bits?
