FAQs

Are these spacers compatible with carbon steerer tubes?

Yes, they are compatible with 1 1/8-inch carbon steerer tubes, provided you use the correct compression plug.

Can I use these on a 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube?

These spacers are designed for the 1 1/8-inch section of the steerer tube, which is common on most tapered forks.

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes four spacers in sizes 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm.

Do I need to grease the spacers?

A very light coating of bike grease on the surfaces can help prevent oxidation and creaking, though it is not strictly required.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, Wolf Tooth offers these precision spacers in various colors to match your bike build.

Troubleshooting

Headset feels loose or rattles

Check that the top cap bolt is tightened to the correct torque to properly preload the headset bearings before tightening the stem bolts.

Gap between spacer and stem

Ensure the steerer tube is cut to the correct length and that the spacers are perfectly aligned with the stem base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a basic set of hex keys to loosen the stem faceplate and top cap bolt. Always ensure that the total height of your spacers does not exceed the maximum allowable stack height recommended by your fork manufacturer. For care, simply wipe the spacers with a clean, damp cloth during routine bike maintenance to remove road grime or grit. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers that may dull the anodized finish. When tightening the top cap, use a torque wrench to meet the manufacturer's specifications to avoid damaging the steerer tube or bearings.
