Unfortunately due to my 90mm headtube and semi integrated top headset I have A LOT of spacers (50mm!) when keeping to a 200mm steerer which I am reluctant to cut down.

Trying to get hold of a suitable high stack carbon upper cone for my headset to make it look a bit better but wondering if anyone had any ideas for making the spacer stack look less stupid.

Am thinking computer/light mounts? Any suggestions/links?

Looking for things that go above and/or below the stem.

Seriously?! 😆

One of these. Has the advantage of being SS-specific KERAZZZY!!! OMZG LOLZ!

Yup 50 bloody mm!

That’s quite cool but if I drink beer on a ride I will do something very silly and hurt myself 😆

I was tempted to move my poplock to the stem to unclutter the bars and cut the cable length. Could also put a remote seat post lever there.

How about a doll like they put over toilet rolls in old people’s houses??

Happy to help.

These?

Yup – +1 for the conical headset spacers 🙂

I’d use a buff myself….useful if your neck gets cold on a long ride too 😉

If you want to go black tie maybe try a cummberbund?

😆 Mother-in-Law bought us one of those one Christmas! 😳

A discreet curtain works for me.

OOPS!!

Maybe I could strap a teddy to the front bin lorry style?

Careful use of colour co-ordination worked for me and my old 80mm head-tubed Inbred. I’d post pics if fotopic was working but I tended to run a black headset and stem with black 5 or 10mm spacer above and below the stem and on top of the headset (making it look like part of the stem stack), then between the stem and headset run another 10 or 12mm spacer but in silver or white. If that makes no sense it’s because I’m old 😉 😳

runs off to refill toilet roll cover

At the moment I have a red zero-stack top cap on my headset which is very low profile but means conical spacers won’t work.

On top of that I have 15mm of fancy red USE spacers as they are shaped so look better than straight ones. Then I have 20mm of carbon ones, then the stem, then on top a gloss black alloy one that looks like part of the stem and then a 10mm carbon one.

The steerer was cut very wonky by the shop so might trim it straight to lose 5mm and hopefully being sent a new headset top cap which has a higher stack and is conical.

These ones are OK I have 40mms worth 30 below 10 above could be worse. I’m going to cut 10mm more of the steerer and go for higher rise bars.

Attach of of these to the top, and paint the spacers accordingly?
