Have just bought a Record TTC hidden headset for my bike; who makes the best carbon spacers to match such a headset? or will any old carbon spacer do? Evans do M:Part, any good?

    I have a 1 1/8" x 15mm carbon m:part spacer that you can have, i bought it last week but it didn't fit (damn my poor measuring skills) I'll dig it out tonight. PM me if interested and I'll pop it in the post to you - no charge as it only cost me £2.75.

    Thanks, I want to bling tonight, so must get my mitts on today; wan't sure if M:Part cut the mustard though or if there was some more desirable spacers out there?

    for when you are absolutely desparate, I've got loads of carbon effect vinyl (sticky back plastic in Blue Peter speak). Normally use it for frame protector patches.
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.
