Being a bit 'aiming for perfection here', I acknowledge, but I'm after a 7mm headset/stem spacer, and can't find one anywhere!!!
Crc, eBay, etc etc
Does anyone know which direction to point my money at at all??
Ta!

(In a typical stw fashion, awaits this thread to contain comments telling me "not to look for what I'm looking for", alternatively the thread being closed after a heated discussion about racism and the rights and wrongs of child pornography!!!) 😉

Never seen one. But 5mm and 2mm are available...
I've never seen one, you may have to cut down a 10mm instead, carbon ones with a fine hacksaw blade cut neatly..
You [s]Racist[/s] [s]Nazi[/s] [s]Pervy[/s] bastard..... 😀
I found bmx ones, but bmx = 1 inch, no?

<sigh> you never stated 1 1/8" or 1.5" 🙄
Typical unclear post by STW poster who asks for help but doesn't give the full information reqiuired. 😉

A 10mm one, then a trip to a hobby shop or a small engineering place to have it whittled down on a lathe?
Chris King do 6mm ones?
High On Bikes have [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Carbon-Fiber-1-1-8-Headset-Spacers-3-5-7-10-15-20mm-/360374993710?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item53e806032e ]this lot[/url] on eBay that includes a 7mm, but if you really really really only want the 7mm just give em a call and ask nicely.
Cheers thepurist, have contacted them about individual spacers!
Filing that, I'll just have to clamp the stem down using a 5mm spacer on top, then remove it when he stem is tight.

No one has asked...why?
A customer in my last lbs job wanted 1mm spacers so he could get his TT stem position "just right". Yup, he was and is a **** 😀

Worked in a ski hire shop once, had a customer bring skis back "because they wouldn't run parallell".
1mm is hardly "perfect" I use two 0.2mm spacers and no top/dust cap under the top crown on my DH bike to achieve near perfect clearance to run the fork as raked out as possible without resorting to a drop crown (which would cause all sorts of other "issues")
My bar height is always adjusted to within +-1mm, why wouldn't you?

because the grips and palms of my gloves probably have more than 1mm 'give' between them.

Tsk. You need some better gloves.
Middleburn do all sorts.
Waswas - you've clearly never seen my "grips" or "gloves" 😆
Don't want any spaces above the stem, and essentially the steerer needs another 2mm off it, which I'm not going to achieve.....
Don't want to run a 10mm spacer below as that will be a few mm too little steerer clamped in the stem......

That may look tidier but ahead stems clamp your steerer more securely with a spacer above.
