I run 46 CowBell2s on my IF, I can run my bikepacking setup up front without shifting issues (although I recently switched to bar ends for separate reasons). This setup sits higher than most bag / rack combos.
Heres the Acorn on a Marks Rack. Those were 44 (or 46) Nitto bars, with Campy Ergo 10spd shifters.
