I talked with DeRosa about it and I may have to use a Nitto Technomatic deluxe

You should be careful about raising the quill relative to the headset. The point of the min-insertion line is to prevent the quill from being tightened against the threaded portion of your steer tube. Consequently, adding spacers to the headset wont change your max stem height.

You’ll need to measure the threaded portion of your steertube as well as your quill extension, and be sure that you don’t raise the quill so that it is tightened above the non-threaded portion.

Cheers,
John
