Anyone know where to get one of these? No luck at the LBS. The only sellers as far as I can see are US based ones on eBay.

    A standard 10 speed sprocket spacer is 2.35 mm thick, and made of plastic. Why not trim one to the correct thickness by using a flat sheet of emery cloth or similar.

    The mavic 10 speed spacer is 1.75mm, the 1.85mm I think should come with an 11 speed shimano wheel so you can fit a 10 speed cassette.

    Your cassette will not know the difference of 0.1mm.

    Yep, and the other way to do it is just to use two 1mm cassette washers (as I was advised by someone on here, seems to have worked for the person I passed that on to) - i'd be surprised if your LBS didn't have a few lounging around in a jar somewhere. Same sort of tolerance issues, just the other way around, shouldn't be a problem with the lock-nut getting more than enough purchase.

    I'm not sure if it matters or not for the OP or indeed at all, but I like to use the right combination as that way if you swap wheels you don't have to adjust the trim on the gears. In truth as people have said not sure if 0.1mm matters or not either way.

    I've one sitting in the house here. Pretty sure I won't be needing it. I understand you're local to me. Sorted.
