You can choose to order just the cover+spacers in the link?

Oops, thanks for pointing that out! I'm super blind!

Though I'm wondering if that cover+spacer is for that more squared style stem or will it work with the rounded stems?

Square, I think I used it on a flat FSA stem a while ago. Its not ridiculously cheap looking 3D printed shite either like some other spacers that are being sold on AliExpress. I still have the headset top cap from that set and it is comparable to OG-Evkin spacer set.

Edit to say, you are talking about the link I posted earlier, correct?

Yes your post from earlier. The one that's on Amazon is definitely for rounded stems, but I can't find it on AliEx. It's weird there are some items I can only find on US Amazon. For example I have a 2 sided T47 and centerlock disc wrench I picked up from Amazon, but I can't find that tool on AliEx despite being of Chinese origin.

That one seems quite expensive (14.20 USD for me). Here is another option as choice item for just 6.09 USD: https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005008356887109.html
Slow on the climb. And everywhere else.

 Thanks, I am going to pick one of these up for my SRAM BBs (52mm) but I think the other side is too big for a rotors centerlock nut(49mm).

This is the tool that I can't find on AliExpress. It's built way more solid than the other BB tools I've used. I highly recommend getting this one versus the cheaper grip-less 2-sided BB tools. This Bike Hand tool works perfect for BB86, CL rotor lockrings and T47 bottom brackets.

But it's not actually cheaper  ;D

Never had any issues with the "grip-less" tools though. Can't see a good reason for that grip tbh. If I really need to torque something down, I would hold the tool at the very end of it anyway to have a better lever. So the grip in the middle wouldn't be much use. And if you find the bare metal too harsh on your hands, just wear a cheap workshop glove?
