Removing my spacers
Hi, I searched, but nothing came up that really answered my question. My question is, I have an 06 Tarmac it has 2 5mm spacers, and a 20mm cone. I want to know if I can remove the cone and run a 5mm spacer instead, or does that 20mm cone have to be there for the headset? Thanks

it all depends on what the actual h.s. is. a cane creek for example generally ships with the cone spacer but a flat cap is also available for those that want to use less spacers.

Just a simple question: are you thinking on cutting down the steerer tube?
