Hello,

I have a 2014 Tarmac SL4 built of the finest 9r. After completing a recent yoga class, I am much more flexible than ever before so I have removed all headset spacers to look more pro (and more importantly stay out of the wind). However, there is a deep ugly (IMHO) 20mm ‘cone spacer’ covering top of bearings that means my front end is still higher than I want. I tried replacing it with a Hope headset dustcover but the external diameter wasn’t big enough for chunky Specialized headtube. Any solutions? Or anyone with a trashed tarmac frame who wants to donate their 5mm/10mm headset dustcover?

When I got my SL5, Specy told

When I got my SL5, Specy told me the minimal ‘cone’ spacer aka conical/tapered height that can be used is 5 mm.  However, since the head tube was reworked/redesigned for each frame size on the SL5, vs the SL4, to be sure ask the experts @ ridercare@specialized.com.

You’re local Specialized

You’re local Specialized dealer should be able to order you a smaller HDS TopCap Spacer. I recall them coming in like a 5mm, 10mm, 20mm option. 

The only part number I was able to find quickly though was for the 20mm spacer, but it should help the shop find the other options:
