2sixstreet Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Like a few people I havent cut my fork down and am running a few spacers. A single adjustable spacer would be a neat solution to multiple spacers. Has anyone used one? Good points? Bad points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Ditto, plus lighter and less likely to fail under the load of trial ridingalthough - very good for working out how many spacers you need without hacking up the steerer / taking stem off every time ?

Onza Kieron Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 That would be cool with a stem with no top cap bolt etc because if you fitted that, fitted stem and tightened pinch bolts, then used a tool to spread that apart it would tighten the headset and give a cleaner look.

Fixed Pants™ Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 That would be cool with a stem with no top cap bolt etc because if you fitted that, fitted stem and tightened pinch bolts, then used a tool to spread that apart it would tighten the headset and heighten the risk of having your chest impaled on the stem. And also would be great if the pinch bolts came undone and the stem just fell off before you did a big move.True though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you wouldnt get the required torque doing it that way. You could hower still use the top cap to tighten your stem down on the spacer, do up the pinch bolts and then remove the top cap. Then again you could do this with any normal stem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
