On the instructions for this stem, it states [i]"steerer tube must be trimmed to a maximum of 35mm above headset components"...[/i]
So does this mean I can't use a spacer or two??
What will happen if I do? I don't fancy having to cut my steerer so damn short!?
Will be due to clamping mechanism, can't see why there'd be any issue with spacers.
i suspect the 'headset components' includes spacers
ahhh... good to hear! actually, reading a bit further into the instructions it says [i]"slide stem onto steerer tube until stem comes into contact with headset or headset spacers"[/i]
So, it appears the simple answer is "read the ****in instructions properly" 😆 😳
Guess it'll be fine... just means no spacers above the stem I suppose?
I kept a spacer above mine until I decided on stem/stack height. Some topcaps fit onto the stem once steerer is cut to correct length, some dont, I bought a straitline one anyway in the end.
