Best place for spacers?
Could anywhere recommend a place for good spacers at a good price?

(20-30mm)

Er, this may be a daft question, but spacers for what? Whistle The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.

I got 30mm terrafirma ones and they've been great. Whatever you buy make sure they are hubcentric. Ray

Was the turning circle noticeably better?

I fitted 30mm Terrafirma hubcentric spacers and with turn stops properly adjusted they made a huge improvement on the turning circle, almost car like, almost! James

As above, if the turn stops are adjusted it makes a big difference. Ray
