Headset Spacers

The bike spacer, an essential part of your shock absorber

All the mechanical components of your bike or your MTB are made up of numerous small spare parts, each one as important as the next. This is the case, for example, with the spacer. A small ring that keeps your bike together and rolling: small in size, but great in importance!

The road bike spacer, the cornerstone of all the mechanics

By definition, a spacer is a part that maintains a gap. Small and round, it is extremely rigid and solid as its role ensures the holding of several parts together. On a bike, whether it's the stem spacer, the steerer spacer or the fork spacer, all these parts are essential.

On the shock absorber for example, the spacers are placed on each side of the bushing and ensure the free rotation of the shock absorber itself. Always of a certain diameter that depends on your bike, spacers are therefore essential and require special attention. Indeed, if your spacer starts to deteriorate, the stability of your bike is no longer truly guaranteed.
