Spacers are an important link in properly
setting up your headset. While used to adjust the height
of your stem, they transfer important alignment from
the bottom of your stem to the top of the headset. Lacking
exactness, there will be little you can do to achieve
and maintain proper adjustment. While spacers are simple
in their design and duty, there is no more room for
compromise here than in our other components.
 Our
precision headset spacers are made to the same exacting
standards as our headsets. Each spacer is lathe-cut
from high-grade aluminum bar stock in a single operation
ensuring exactness of size, concentricity, and parallel
surfaces. Many of the other headset spacers available
in the market are saw-cut from a tube resulting in variances
of these all-important tolerances. This is especially
true with the now popular carbon fiber headset spacer.
Fashionable? Yes. Precision? Questionable. In addition
to sizing variances, carbon fiber has poor qualities
in compression, which is what it is subject to during
adjustment and from trail forces as the bicycle is ridden.
We believe that this is an impractical material to specify
spacers to be made from when our 3mm spacer weighs just
2.5 grams by the way.
Chris King Precision Components headset spacers are
available in diameters of 1”, 1 1/8”, and
1/1/4” and in heights of 3mm, 6mm, 12mm, and 25
mm. All of our standard colors are offered with the
occasional limited edition color coming now and again.
Finish off those last details with style and precision.
Spacers are available individually or as a 4-piece
kit
