I'm trying to get my hands on some FSA Micro Spacers for a Giant TCR with an OD2 Headset - therefore needing the 1 1/4" micro spacer size. It's listed on the FSA website as available but from searching high and low and told from multiple LBS they aren't available in the US I'm stuck...

Trying to slam my stem with a flat head set dust cover but need to raise it up a little off the head tube. Any help on finding these would be much appreciated!

bikewagon.com has them and a bunch of other places. I googled "fsa headset micro spacers" and got a bunch of options.

Thanks for the responses and links guys, but it is the 1 1/4" micro spacer size that I am after....those are all 1 1/8" which is pretty easy to come across. It's for a Giant TCR which has a 1 1/4" top bearing size.

Might have to go to the store and buy some milk it seems however!

Oops, suddenly I don't feel so smart. Lol

Maybe call FSA and ask?

Check McMaster-Carr and search for 'round shim'. Use the menus to the left to sort based on ID and take your pick. The only OD option is 1-3/4" so that might be too big, but given the lack of options it would be easy to fix that with a grinder.

3 German shops has them in stock, sold per 1 piece. Only shipping to US is way too expensive.
Maybe find yourself a German person that wants to order it for you and are willing to send it in an envelope over the mail with limited costs.
(German shipping is 3,90 EUR) (+ letter to US)

I've ordered alloy 1-1/4" spacers from Wheels Manifacturing before. High quality but international shipping costs kind of kill joy, but W-M is the only non-Alibaba/etc seller that had these that I could find.
