1cm Headset spacer... is there room?
Velo Orange has a rather nice tapped 1cm headset spacer to mount a bell on. My 1" threaded headset has a 1/2 cm spacer. Can one of you please let me know how to figure out whether there will be space? Sorry in advance for being such a noob.

Yeah, as they said you can just mount it to your stem since its threaded, here's a picture of my setup. I have the second tt lever hooked up to the bell handle so I can just hit the spare lever and ring my bell, and it never gets old when drinking.

I have one of the velo orange brass bells. It worked out perfectly because otherwise I would've had to cut a little off my fork(or use spacers). It looks good and has a very nice ding.
ps-the brake lever operated bell is a dope idea.
