Product Information

Full details

The Wolf Tooth Precision Headset Spacers are designed for cyclists and bike mechanics who demand high-quality, reliable components for their 1 1/8-inch steerer tube setups. These spacers offer a clean, aesthetic upgrade with a variety of anodized colors, providing a precise fit that eliminates the need for stacking multiple smaller spacers. While they provide excellent durability and a sleek look, it is important to note that they are specifically engineered for 1 1/8-inch steerer diameters, meaning they will not work on older 1-inch or newer 1 1/4-inch standards.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these on a 1-inch steerer tube?

No, these spacers are exclusively designed for 1 1/8-inch steerer tubes.

What does the kit include?

The kit contains 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm spacers.

Are these made of plastic?

No, these are precision-machined from aluminum.

Will the color fade over time?

The anodized finish is durable but can fade slightly if left in direct, intense UV light for extended periods over several years.

Do I need any special tools to install them?

No, standard metric hex keys are sufficient to remove your stem and top cap to swap the spacers.

Troubleshooting

Creaking sound coming from the headset area.

Ensure the mating surfaces between the spacers and the stem/headset are clean and free of debris. Apply a thin layer of light grease to the spacer ends.

Spacer does not fit over the steerer tube.

Verify your steerer tube diameter is exactly 1 1/8-inch (28.6mm). These will not fit 1 1/4-inch or tapered steerers that remain 1 1/4-inch at the top.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the clutter and potential instability of stacking multiple small spacers.
  • Laser-marked sizes make it easy to swap and identify parts.
  • High-quality anodized finish resists corrosion and maintains aesthetic appeal.
  • Manufactured in the USA to high precision standards.

Cons

  • Not compatible with 1-inch or 1 1/4-inch steerer tube standards.
  • Higher initial cost compared to generic plastic or basic aluminum spacers.
  • Anodized colors may show wear or scratches if the stem is adjusted frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, loosen your stem bolts, remove the top cap, and slide your chosen Wolf Tooth spacers onto the steerer tube before re-installing the stem. Ensure that the total height of the spacers and the stem clamp does not exceed the recommended extension above the steerer tube; typically, the steerer should end about 2-3mm below the top of the stem to allow for proper top cap compression.

These spacers are compatible with all standard 1 1/8-inch mountain and road bike steerers. To maintain the anodized finish, avoid using harsh degreasers or abrasive cleaning tools. Simply wipe them down with a clean, damp cloth during your regular bike cleaning routine.
