For Sale: Slam that stem - low stack headset cover

Outside diameter seems to be 51mm, and top of headtube to top of metal compression ring is 2.5mm with preload on. Does that sound right?

Safe in the meantime?

Yes, it's safe. Using a dust cover just keeps solid contaminants away from the upper bearing seal, which might extend the bearing service life.

The biggest I have in stock is 48mm, which will function but obviously won't align with the OD of your ZS-style headset.

Would it look ok? It'd leave a 1.5mm gap all round, right?

Ideally I'd have: tester cap, appropriately sanded-to-size carbon spacer, stem, tester steerer cap. That'd work, right?

That'd work, right?

It would work, but I'm not in love with carbon spacers. Better to go full #tester_approved and get a set of my spacers while you're at it

It'd leave a 1.5mm gap all round, right?

Yes

I've put my name down for a top cap. Can I combine postage? £10 for bearing cover, £12.50 for top cap and £2.50 postage, is that right?

I presume you're not planning any 51mm caps anytime soon?

It's even better than that, since the £10 cover already includes postage, so it's £22.50 total.

I presume you're not planning any 51mm caps anytime soon?

Not unless you want a one-off at £100 :)

I'd love a one-off, but I think my budget can live with a little gap around the edge.

Where shall I send cash? I guess I'll have to wait until more people order top caps? No worries - I can ride bike with bearing out until then. I'll just try not to drip sweat into it...

I guess I'll have to wait until more people order top caps?

Yes, if you want the combined postage. If you want the bearing cover now, let me know.

Happy to wait. Where shall I send cash?

I'll send details when the top cap run is ready to start.

I don't suppose anyone knows what size a 2012 Cervelo R5 would need?

Don't have the bike to hand, but am considering a switch from the stock 15(?)mm conical cover and a -17 degree stem for -6 stem and minimal dust cover.

Probably 45x2 like all the other Cervelos, but best to measure.

I'm from the USA. Bank transfers are quite costly (roughly the cost of 2 of your top covers). Do you do any sales via paypal?

No.

Where'e the list? I want one.

There's no list at the moment, but 45,46,47 and 48mm diameters are in stock in 2mm and 3mm depths. If one of those fits, PM me, otherwise start a list for special sizes but it will be a long wait.

Will measure up tonight and send you a PM.

Do you have any not anodized in stock? 46x3mm.

Do you have any not anodized in stock?

No

Buy one then use Oven Pride.
Comes off in about 30s with a bit of agitation.
Polished both of mine; works a treat!

Thought about it. I have deanodized lots of stuff previously.
Right now though, I'm debating just chucking the comical(conical) spacer under the mill...

My frame uses a 41.8mm top bearing, would a 45 fit this and if so can I have a 2mm one? please and thankyou :)
