You cannot tighten the stem bolt enough to close the gap on the headset. That&#8217;s why you need to add a spacer.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of installing a Thomson G2 stem, its 36mm stack height is too short.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-160695\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7446-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7446-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7446-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7446.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you put a 36mm stack height stem on a 41mm space on the steerer fork, it obviously would have a 5mm gap. When putting the top cap on the steerer like this, you are not able to put enough force so that the stem could hold the steerer tube properly and cannot close the gap in the headset.<\/p>\n<p>Since the stack height has been reduced by 9 mm from the original stem\u2019s 45 mm, we\u2019ll add spacers to compensate for that difference. One 5 mm spacer and two 2 mm spacers total 9 mm, or two 5 mm spacers total 10 mm.<br \/>\nTo keep things simple, we\u2019ll add 10 mm of spacers this time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-160697\" src=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7449-1280x960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7449-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7449-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_7449.jpg 1664w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By doing so, the stem becomes taller than the steerer tube, making the top cap able to do its job.<\/p>\n<p>As an example of what not to do, if the stem is too high, even if you tighten the stem\u2019s screws, you won\u2019t be able to apply torque to the steerer tube. This can result in the stem shifting due to insufficient clamping force or cracking from being overtightened. In this case, remove one spacer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-160698\"
