Carbon Fiber Handle Spacers

Post by triple_illusion » Tue Oct 27, 2020 10:53 am

I received a carbon fiber spacer from a member here on TT, I don't remember who though. Does anyone know if those spacers are still available anywhere? It was a thin washer like piece that added just a little space between handles and drag stars in case of clearance issues. I don't recall if it was a brand name part or something custom that was circulating at the time, it was several years ago...

I dont think they are available anymore or at least I haven't seen any lately.
I actually believe they were just a run to see if the handle supplier could save money on metal spacers.
I may still have a few laying around somewhere.

Thanks man
I appreciate it.



To the OP,
Are any of these what you were looking for?

Since it's just a spacer, wouldn't any SST washer that fits over the handle shaft work? They shouldn't be that heavy, or hard to find.

Hello mrpao, you have a PM. :D
PM not leaving my inbox. mrpao, if you found any of the carbon spacers for Shimano fit, please let me know if you would sell me any. I only need 1, but I could buy a few as well just to have extras. Let me know, and thank you for the information!

Thank you goldenrod! However, this is not what I am looking for.

Sure, but I like how the carbon fiber spacers blend into the carbon handle. Looks better, and plus, carbon fiber! Can't argue against it.

I can understand to a point, but you only see the edge of the washer, and a black sharpie will make that disappear. I'd suggest you keep it in the back of you mind as an alternative if you can't find what you're looking for.
