Getting over two pages when all that is needed is this still: https://problemsolversbike.com/produ...headset-spacer. No messing with other spacers, no taping, no glueing, no worries about the KlickFix mount, no cardboard, no canti cable stop, no band clamps or anything else needed just a simple easy to install locking headset spacer which essentially replaces the stem for keeping everything properly preloaded and in place.

The problem with this thread is that there are too many viable options.
So, I'll toss in another. 99 cent hose clamp.

I was going to amend my earlier post re: cut-down old stem - I've an assortment of ally tubing that I use for sleeves and shims to make stuff fit where it doesn't, I probably have what the OP needed, just didn't think of it until I needed some yesterday.
