The ControlTech Falcon Armrest Stack Spacer Kit is designed for competitive cyclists and triathletes who need to fine-tune their aerodynamic cockpit for optimal comfort and efficiency. By providing a 60mm elevation, this kit allows riders to achieve a more ergonomic arm position, potentially reducing neck and shoulder strain during long rides; however, users should note that increasing stack height may require recabling or adjusting the overall bike fit to maintain stable handling.

These spacers are specifically designed for Controltech Falcon TT Extensions and are not guaranteed to fit or provide a safe connection with other brands.
Raising your armrests by 60mm adds significant length to your cockpit routing. You may need to replace your current cable housing if there is insufficient slack.
It is not recommended to stack multiple spacer kits, as this can compromise the structural integrity and stability of the cockpit.
You will typically need a standard set of metric hex keys and a torque wrench to ensure the installation meets safety standards.
While the primary function is to increase stack (vertical height), changing your armrest position can slightly alter your effective reach depending on the angle of your extensions.
Verify that all mounting bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification and ensure the spacer is seated flush against the extension base.
Ensure you are using the specific hardware provided in the 60mm kit, as these are longer than the original bolts used for the base setup.
To install the 60mm stack spacer, begin by removing the existing armrest hardware from your Controltech Falcon TT Extensions. Ensure the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. Align the spacers with the extension base, insert the included longer bolts, and tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to prevent over-tightening. Regularly inspect the mounting hardware after the first 50 miles of riding to ensure no bolts have loosened due to road vibration. Keep the area clean and dry to prevent corrosion and maintain smooth adjustment capabilities.
