Overview
Why Are Wolf Tooth Precision Headset Spacers the Right Upgrade?
Wolf Tooth's advice is to buy the right size spacer instead of stacking thin ones. The Precision Headset Spacers are precision machined in Minneapolis, and the length is laser marked on the end of each spacer so you do not have to guess what is in your stack. Wolf Tooth makes them in 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 30mm lengths. This listing is the 5mm spacer.
The spacer is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, weighs 3g, and comes in anodized colors that match Wolf Tooth stem caps, headsets, seatpost clamps, and other color parts. It fits 1-1/8 inch top steerer tubes only, either straight 1-1/8 inch or 1-1/2 inch to 1-1/8 inch tapered.
