Nah, I can already grab my whole foot with my hand - my flexibility is above average for a roadie, but still way beyond a pro (a bit like my legs and lungs!) - hence the fact my bike isn't set up like a pro's bike.

The spacers are there to stay. I don't think I'll ever be able to do what Rujano is in that picture. Like I say, unless you can do that - even if you are pretty flexible, you are going to feel some serious pain with your bars too low.
