Conical steerer spacer on the radrunner is about double the length of some of the other rad bikes, I'm looking for a shorter spacer, any info appreciated. I talked to tech support, asked if they could sell me one of the shorter spacers, no luck, new rad owner, I'm  disappointed with the small number of replacement  parts the company has.

Couldn't edit my post above so....I found some similar looking conical spacers online but can't tell if they'll work, no specs/sizes listed, any info anywhere?  thanks again, Brian

I would probably go talk to somebody in a bike shop and see what they have to say. Maybe take the spaces off and measure them. Maybe you can cut them down

Found a lot by searching for "Tapered Headset Spacer" rather than conical, problem is they all ship from China, I'll keep looking for one that ships from the USA.

This is what I was looking for, Bolton ebikes sells the ones at the bottom but only as part of a replacement headset, $15. For a short ride(my wife) the hugely high rise bars that come with the bike make riding/controlling the bike a bit sketchy.

The post above should be "For a short rider(my wife)..."  I hit the modify button to edit the post but nothing happens, what do I need to do?
