About Headset Spacers

A bike headset is an important of the bicycle. Its main function is to provide a rotatable surface between the bicycle frame and the bicycle fork. It is the juncture where the head tube meets the stems. There are different kinds of headsets depending on the design. Common designs are threadless headsets, integrated headsets, and internal headsets. Cane Creek headsets popularized the threadless and tapered headset designs.
 
In threadless headsets, the headset spacers are very important, according to bike experts. They are crucial in placing the preload bolt and stem at the right position on the headtube, or steered tube. The “stack height” is important in this set up. The fork’s steerer tube must be of the right length; that is, there should be enough portion of the tube sticking above the headset so the stem has something to latch on to.
 
Spacers serve as important link in precisely setting up your headset. Not only are they used to adjust the stem height, they also align your stem’s bottom with the headset’s top. Without this precise alignment, definitely, you cannot ride your bike properly. The spacers maintain this exact alignment. Popular headset spacer brands include Chris King headsets. A Chris King headset is guaranteed stiff, strong and exact, according to reviews.  Each spacer is also guaranteed to preserve its concentricity and parallel surface. Unlike other spacers which were cut from a single tube, this spacer is fabricated individually. Every piece made of high-grade aluminum and cut to precise heights.
