Spacers, more or less?
Hi folks,
Sorry if this has been asked loads before.
I've just changed my stem and need to add a spacer. At the moment there are 3 spacers. The total gap is 25mm.
So my question is, do i add a 4th 5mm spacer or change them to two spacers 20mm + 5mm or two 10's and a 5?
Does it make a difference to strength or performance or is it just a question of how it looks?
Cheers
Nick

Not sure what you are asking! You must add enough spacers so that the combo of stem and spacers overlaps the steerer tube by 3-5mm. This is so you can adjust the headset.
It is whatever it takes to do this.0 -
