Spacer Suggestion
My LBS set up the stem with three small spacers. I am wondering if there is a way to make so its once piece? Prefer something in Carbon mainly because the bike is Carbon just to keep generally the same look, not concerned about weight with spacers just want it to look nice.

Well, a GOOD bike shop would do this.

Are the 5mm or 10mm or mixed?

I believe it's 3 5mm spacers. I'd have to measure but they look like 5s. I am putting a nice Enve top cap on it to match off to the bars and want that mess to look clean too. I was so excited to get the bike out to ride after my fitting I just overlooked it. |
These should be what you're looking for, assuming you have a standard 1 1/8 stem.

Small spacers allow you to make minor adjustments rather than one big one if needed. I'd ride it for a while first and make sure of height before I went to one spacer.

Oh, the spacers are on top?
In that case, you can eliminate them entirely if you have the shop cut the steering tube. |
This probably won't help.
Years ago I cut a 1 1/4 carbon steer tube for a friend. The piece that I cut off turned out to have exactly the right diameters for 1" steer tube custom stack spacers. I don't know if there's any weight saving, but they look good. I probably still have 20mm or so left in my shop. |
