BUT there is
a maximum number of spacers you can put under the stem on a carbon
steerer. For
1 inch it is generally about 1 inch(2.54cm). With the other two, steel
and
aluminum, no maximum. You need just about any threadless 1 inch HS.

Why the maximum? What's the limiit on a 1 1/8" steerer? Is this a
loose rule-of-thumb or a hard restriction printed on paper by the
manufacturer? (i.e. rumor or fact) Wouldn't it differ between
manufacturors? What happens if you exceed it? Have I asked enough
questions?

As an example, Reynolds says in their instruction manual for the Ouzo Pro:

"Slide the compression ring, spacers and stem onto the steerer tube. Use a
minimum of two spacers, while making certain not to exceed a maximum stack
height of 1" on 1" diameter fork or 1 1/2" on 1 1/8" diameter fork."
