Carbonda 505SL big headtube

[trailgazer]

Carbonda's 505SL headtube is big. At least for the L size frame that I have.
I'm using a semi integrated solution with the use of a FSA SMR stem. I removed the one spacer that I had on there right after the first two test rides, I can't go lower than this, the cable cover together with the bearings topcap are required I guess.

What solutions do you see to achieve a bit lower position on the bar with the stem I currently run?

-17 stem ie. Deda vinci

You can run cables inside that stem and so lose the plastic guide at the bottom. That would drop it a lot, but you need a bar that runs internal cables with a hole at the stem clamp.
