Show off your headset spacers!

Edit: ok, they were clearly poor examples. Not mine, but this is what I was driving at:

Now they sound like they are worth a thread in their own right!

I tried some of these crinkly spacers. They looked cool but they had one slight problem as headset spacers they were shit, headset kept coming loose.[/img]

Buddy you seriously need to cut that steerer tube down before you go over the bars and rip your sack off.

because i am a True bike Tart!


i have swapped the black one over for a better fit matched one and re-arranged them into reverse order of the bottom on the top now though!! :oops: 8) 8)

God damn it. I just can't resist.

Look at my spacers. The roundness and sheer spacerness is truly astounding

feck me you lot need to get out more or at least while away your time with internet porn or some other more productive pastime.

WTF? Why would you want to draw attention to the fact your bike is set up like a Halfords special with 80mm of brightly coloured spacers!?

Black or carbon, nothing else should be allowed!

dunker

i always knew this photo would get it's day!

allthegearnoidea

njee - 40mm matey! there 5mm each, and because its about individuality fella! that and retaining more saleability on the forks by keeing the steerer 200mm+!!
black is boring!

njee20

I was kidding about 80mm, but it looks a little daft, not something I'd draw attention to, each to their own and that, however may I point out the rules. You're in direct contradiction of Rule 45:

A maximum stack height of 2cm is allowed below the stem and a single 5mm spacer must always – always – be stacked above. A “slammed down” stack height is preferable; meaning that the stem is positioned directly on the top race of the headset.

Edit: There should be a smiley in there somewhere, before someone thinks I'm serious!

Wrong forum brother

The rules are the rules...

From memory, Rule 5 in particular is universal.

i'm guessing many many people may be reading that link as crashed explorer tweice in a row lol!

But buit but! As a True Bike Tart, Why would you settle for black when you can have Multi colours!!!!
only reason there is no blue (black instead) was that hotlines didnt have any in stock when i ordered them at the lbs!!!

I have these on my scandal 29er. Not an issue with them, even with rigid carbon forks.

I know its not a good look but it was the first ride out ? a flat bar with lots of spacers *crindge* :oops:


Every time i look at that photo all i can see is the damn head set spacers :x

armymankin

That's certainly a high front end for a clown bike Mark, most people with 29ers seem to run inverted stems and what not to get it lower! Nice bike though, and many spacers is forgiveable as long as they're just black or carbon!

Pineapple rings.

Not only can they easily be cut to size but also provide a nutricious and healthy mid ride on the fly snack.

See it as an incentive to ride faster.
