Custom Headset Spacers

    I want to get some custom headset spacers done up like these ones:
    http://bikepure.org/store/store_spacer_bundle.html

    I've emailed Myles in Bike Pure to see if I could use his supplier, but he's not sure if he knows who they used.

    I'm wondering if anyone here would know where I could get some, or if anyone can PM me the contact details for anyone you know locally who could source them for me?

    There's a business idea - headset spacers, a vice, a dremel and some cardboard stencils = custom spacers.

    I imagine they just get some blue anodised headset spacers in bulk and then get a local metalwork shop with a laser etcher to stick the logos on.

    If you're looking for just one, then maybe have ring around local engravers to see what they think, or if you're ordering in bulk, an engineering firm may be your best bet?

    I'd be expecting to order 100 I'd say. I'm sure there are companies out there who'll do a batch of them based on my logo file.

    I've ordered custom plectrums based on uploading a jpeg and choosing a colour from http://www.claytoncustom.com/, I presume there's a similar service available for headset spacers.

    I'm sure Google would help, but hopefully I can get a recommendation and buy as locally as possible.

    Chris, Do you want to get the spacers anodised or standard spacers custom painted/stenciled/decaled ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,035 ✭✭✭✭-Chris-


    Anodised green spacers with a logo etched on them

    Dont know about locally but this guy may be able to help. He has green spacers anyway. Wouldnt have a clue where to start with etching though http://www.torontocycles.com/Selling/headset.html

    The Bike Pure ones are also branded tokenproducts.com, so I presume they were manufactured by Token
