Already have a slammed -17 stem. An 18cm headtube is the tallest my position can utilize (stem is positioned 19cm from the crown of the fork). The 58cm "H2" fit has a 19cm headtube. If I left the bearing cap completely off and put the stem right down on the bearing itself, I could get away with it, but this is only really acceptable on the track where the bike doesn't see water (not to mention the bolt of lightning from the gods of aesthetics).
