• Do I need a thin spacer above the (aluminium) stem on a steel fork/steerer? Or is no spacer at all okay? The stem has two bolts, and the top one is probably just about below the top of the steerer.

  • No spacer necessary. If you’re able to preload the bearings and the bolts aren’t clamping into thin air instead of the steerer, then it’s fine.
