What size bike ? Headtube length vary's for the sizes : 105,115,125,135mm (S5). What size stem are you using ? 45mm ? How many spacers are you going to use ?
You need a clutch ..
I'm pretty sure the Shimano 10 speed is the same ratio as the 9 speed, but the initial alignment is different so you need to space it out 4mm .... (or my mind might be dreaming).. There's plenty of 10 speed shadows for 30-35 ish.
Advent (microshift) do a 9 speed, but...

Has anyone else had chain slip issues on the 11t with the Advent V1 ?
I had some slip issues initially through the cassette which was from the adjustment screws doing their own thing. I've corrected that but it continued to slip randomly in the 11t.
Initially, I thought it was the suspension...
Had a much more "testing" ride on the Fox 38 setup this morning.
1100m, 30k, 70% battery used. Left it in T as I was lazy.
Basically - the fork is perfect for me ! It just does everything faultlessly ! The rear shock I also can't fault. It's better again with the Fox 38 (The Lyric is...
Finally given the Fox 38 Performance setup a bit of a decent go !
I think it might be "Perfect" !!!
Small bump is stunning, even better than my Fox 36 which I always think of as my benchmark.
Everything is really - Stunning !
Running slightly higher pressure than ideal, but it soaks...
With the cable rerouted and yesterday's index, shifting is super smooth...
But still random jumps on the 11t.
The original shift issues through the range were the adjustments screws moving/cable settling.
I think the v1 Microsoft has a bit of a design flaw, probably addressed with the v2.
In...
I have the 36 Rhythm on my Focus and can't really fault it, but then I'm lighter. Maybe you just need another token in there (possibly simplifying things).
Shock sounds like a good choice too ...
I think I'd ride it and assume it's actually going to kick ass and spend some time getting...
What's the present front and rear travel ? What on the back ...
Most importantly, what do you mean exactly by "improve", ie, what do you want from it that you don't think you get now ?
You should just be able to get some normal spacers to go on top of the stem - the big ones are weird on top !
Ultimately, as you're dropping the stem and moving more spacers on top (to accommodate the length of the steerer tube) you can use the existing top cap whilst you're testing.
If...
