But the usual best source for this sort of brand specific alternitive part is a shop that sells the brand. Can the shop which sold the bike also source the shorter cover? Andy
Haha yeah that sounds about right! I'm going to keep searching around at Specialized dealers to see if anyone has one sitting around. I guess they have to order the whole headset otherwise.
Wondering if this is the same design as the Cane Creek IS2 headsets...
