Spare stems/spacers

Anonymous

Anyone got any spare stems? 80 or 90mm, around 7-10 degrees, for a 1inch steerer to clamp normal (not OS) bars. I think i'll need a new spacer (2-3mm?) as well to sit on top.

I ask as I've sorted a new bike, but it currently has an 1 1/8 stem with a shim, and with the current setup I can't slam the stem by rearranging it, as the shim is too long and the spacer is too big if swapped around.

Not after anything fancy, but if anyone has some spares they are looking to shift after trying to find the right position, I'd gladly take them off your hands!

Thanks in advance

If you get no joy on the spacer or need something very specific, give me a shout and I'll machine you one from aluminium on the lathe. I'll just need the dimensions. It'll only take 5 minutes. I've got a pile of round bar of various dimensions.

mpdouglas - that's really kind. I think I need a 2mm and a 3mm spacer of 1 inch internal diameter to fit a 1" steerer. If the workshop does polished aluminium, that's a bonus!

Polished aluminium they shall be! I'll make them on Sunday.

You superstar! Thanks so so much! See you on the racetrack for a swapover (if I can catch you!)

I've made them. I did 7 in total with a range of thicknesses from 2mm to 4mm. I'm on public transport on Monday but back on the bike on Tuesday. I work on Golden Square in Piccadilly if that makes collection easier.

You hero thanks so much!
What time on Tuesday? Let me know and I can meet you along the embankment. Sadly can't do Piccadilly as I work at cannon street

Do you want to try and meet on the way home this evening. I'm pretty flexible about when I leave. Big Ben corner?, Vauxhall Bridge junction?
