Title: Chrome spacers for Handlebar Stem ??
Post by: brass monkey! on July 22, 2006, 08:27 AM

Hi Ya'll,

Does anyone know if you can buy Chrome spacers for Handlebar Stems ??

I have a DK Freestyle stem, but if I raise it up, you see the black shaft (oohh err missus !!), and it looks kinda ugly, 

is there a chrome spacer available to buy anywhere, that would cover the shaft up ? Do they make em ??
Help !!!  :daumenhoch:

cut off a piece of seatpost or get the correct width piping for a couple of quid tops at b&q & cut off what you need

Hey you guys are the best  :4_17_5:

I need to raise it between half to 1 inch, so the type Biagio has should do the trick !!

Weston, if you have a Haro Flew Saver and your cutting it half, could split the cost perhaps ?  :daumenhoch:

I presume you were refering to a flex saver? Not B&Q piping !!  :-\
