Just curious - is it possible to get this down to 7 degree tilt ? Their website says u can use the trek adapters to get to 14, but I like a bit flatter.
I have seen someone selling the Ascalon extensions like you have. No mounting hardware for the trek though. Was going to pull the trigger but these seem to revolve around a lot of tilt ?
The stock Ascalon adapter for the Disc version of the Trek SC gives you 21 deg natively. You can go +/-7 deg with the Trek angled spacers, so 14, 21 or 28 degrees.
So 14 deg would be the minimum.
In my pictures above, the first pic with the bike on the brick wall (bike shop build) it was at 21 deg (no angled spacers). In the other pictures is after I tweaked my setup, this is how it looks at 14 degrees. It's kind of subtle in my opinion. Your hands would get pretty low using a flat bar, due to the angle and offset of the handles.
If you really want less than 14 degrees, it's a long shot but you can always reach out to Aerocoach and see if they can offer a custom adapter with less angle. I know they can offer custom versions of the extensions (different length, or handle angles).
