That set-up is sharp. Was contemplating this set-up for my Tarmac SL6 build, but did not like the available mount options, so guess this takes away that argument. Little off-topic, but appropriate audience-do you have to use the Pro spacers that match the Vibe stem steerer clamp if you need to run spacers under the Vibe stem or is the real answer that I shouldn't use this set-up if I can't slam the stem, even with the -10d version?
Here the setup of Team Sky with their Pro Vibe stems....
Regular spacers.....
(EDIT: only Pro Vibe stem)

Clearly that is not the Vibe stem. In the images the faceplate bolts attach from the front as is usual, while the Vibe stem have the faceplate bolts attach from the back.

Look at the attachment for the Pro Vibe stem.

I have standard carbon spacers under the stem and I think they look fine. I didn't know there were stem specific spacers as an option, I likely will switch over to those if I can find somewhere to order them.

Thanks for the pic-looks fine with regular spacers (and the bike is sweet as well).
I could only find the spacers on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/i/222585753768?chn=ps. Not sure it is worth it, but they are not too expensive either. Like the stem, they make the spacers for both 1 1/4 and 1 1/8 steerer tubes, so make sure you get the right one.
Thanks. Just got the bike built up a few days ago actually, quite excited. Just ordered the spacers - all of the proprietary parts required to complete the pro vibe setup is a headache initially but I’m really happy with the clean cable and junction box integration and overall feel of the setup - I’d definitely recommend it over the Enve and Zipp aero cockpit setups I had previously.

Thanks for that ebay link, using this handlebar/stem combination on my new build and the matching spacers should finish it off nicely.
Now to see if I can get that Shimano Pro/K-Edge garmin mount in Thailand

I didn't know that a spacer kit is available.
Found the part number PRSS0477 for 1 1/8. Bike24.com has the 1 1/4 in stock but not the 1 1/8
I bought the last set from the eBay link despite being heavily taxed upon arrival. (25% VAT + 25$ handling fee)
But the good thing is that the K-edge is in the mail and should arrive Monday.

I have the Vibe Stem with a set of regular carbon spacers under the stem. While the pro spacers look good with that teardrop shape, I can't say the regular spacers look ugly.
P.S. I have the 1 1/4" Vibe stem option, to fit my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX steering tube.
