Maybe he felt a sense of fellowship with other people who really care about stem height
I installed these on 105 crank and when in the small/small the chain ring catches the shift pins and trys to shift up to the big ring. Any thoughts on a fix?
Thanks
Your chain is too tight, try adding a few links

I don’t like quill stems but I do sort of like the idea of a bike with “normal” stem height and “post-Tex-Mex Happy Hour” stem height

Modern di2 with synchronous shifting, so it will never end up in big/big or little/little.

My answer is literally the groucho marx solution: don’t do that. Smallsmalling is always going to be bad with this style of crank because the ring is extra small and also a few extra mm inboard.

I don’t think crosschaining is recommended with any chainring set up. Yes, it’s worse with compact or subcompact, but it’s a recipe to sawing through your front derailleur on almost all bikes, as few set ups can handle small small without some FD cage rub.
I understand big/big but small/small is pointless.
