Baoji Velnora Titanium Industry delivers Swiss CNC-machined titanium components directly to performance bicycle builders, custom frame workshops, and motorsport assemblers in Surabaya. Combining aerospace Ti-6Al-4V metallurgy with state-of-the-art wire EDM precision, our components eliminate saltwater galvanic seizure, optimize steering head stiffness, and shed critical front-end mass in Indonesia’s demanding tropical climate.

Why conventional 6061-T6 aluminum and carbon fiber headset spacers fall short in East Java, and how Ti-6Al-4V provides permanent structural rigidity, sweat resistance, and steering precision.
Surabaya’s coastal exposure along the Madura Strait brings high atmospheric salinity and humidity. Traditional aluminum spacers stacked on steel steerer tubes create an electrolytic reaction, resulting in white oxide expansion and seized cockpits. Our Grade 5 titanium headset spacers form an instant, passive TiO2 oxide barrier that stops galvanic bridging permanently.
Enthusiasts tackling steep regional climbs like Mount Bromo and the Cangar Pass exert heavy cyclic steering torque. Under sustained stem-bolt clamping, carbon fiber headset spacers can slowly creep and deform, leading to loose headset bearing preloads. Our Ti-6Al-4V spacers feature a 110 GPa modulus of elasticity that holds bearing preload true over punishing descents.
With high-end road and gravel bicycles standardizing internal cable cockpits, headset spacers must handle multi-radius internal cable paths without pinching brake hoses. We produce precision CNC slotted and interlocking spacers matching D-shaped steerer tubes, maintaining smooth bearing transitions with zero sharp edge wear.

In-depth market research into what performance brands, custom workshops, and distributors are specifying across Surabaya.
Riders across West Surabaya (Graha Famili, CitraLand) and mountain routes to Trawas are investing in custom titanium and custom stainless-steel frames. These riders seek clean cockpits without raw aluminum seams. Demand for anodized and PVD gold, oil-slick, and sandblasted titanium spacers has risen by 42% over the last 18 months.
Bike workshops and parts distributors in Surabaya are shifting away from generic distributors toward direct relationships with Baoji manufacturing plants. Direct sourcing enables custom laser branding on spacer walls, bespoke outer-diameter contours matching specific stem collars, and guaranteed material mill test certificates (MTC).
In tropical temperatures above 34°C with high humidity, carbon steerer setups can experience resin degradation if clamped improperly. Tuners are using ultralight, hollowed-out internal-groove Grade 5 titanium spacers. They achieve carbon-competitive weights while retaining metal's fail-safe yield properties.
Headquartered in China’s Titanium Valley, we pair raw titanium smelting access with precision multi-axis machining.
Established in 2013 in Baoji, Shaanxi, we source high-grade titanium sponge directly. Every billet of Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 (TC4) undergoes ultrasonic flaw detection and spectrometer alloy verification before CNC chucking, ensuring no porosity or micro-fissures in finished spacers.
We eliminate supply chain blind spots for Surabaya clients. Our team shares high-resolution CNC turning videos, wire EDM cross-section inspections, and optical comparator readings during machining, so you approve each lot before it departs our facility.
From physical vapor deposition (PVD) gold, burnt blue, and purple interference coatings to micro-bead blasting and high-contrast CNC laser branding, we offer complete aesthetic and functional finishing services to match your brand's specifications.
Practical engineering, import compliance, and logistics guidance for ordering custom titanium spacers and parts.
We machine headset spacers for all industry-standard fork steerer tube dimensions, including standard 1-1/8 inch (28.6 mm), oversized 1-1/4 inch (31.8 mm Canyon/Giant OD2 standard), and 1.5 inch tapered systems. Heights range from 2 mm micro-adjusters to 3 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm conical transition spacers. Custom outer-diameter profiles matching aerodynamic integrated stems can also be machined from STEP or IGES CAD files.
Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V titanium creates an instant, continuous rutile (TiO2) oxide film upon air contact. Unlike aluminum, which pit-corrodes and flakes in coastal air like that along Tanjung Perak, titanium is immune to chloride ion attack and galvanic corrosion when in contact with carbon fiber, stainless steel, or aluminum components.
For standard round Grade 5 titanium spacers, our minimum order quantity starts at just 50 pieces across mixed sizes (e.g., 5mm, 10mm, 20mm sets). For custom-profile internal cable routing (ICR) spacers requiring dedicated CNC tooling or custom laser engraving, the baseline MOQ is 100 to 200 pieces. Production lead time runs 10 to 18 business days, with air courier transit to Surabaya (Juanda International Airport - SUB) taking 4 to 6 business days via DHL, FedEx, or dedicated freight forwarders.
Yes. We regularly ship to Indonesian buyers under FOB, CIF, or DDP terms. We provide complete documentation including accurate HS Code classifications (typically 8714.99 for cycle components or 8108.90 for titanium articles), Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, and Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1) to ensure smooth clearance through Indonesian customs (Bea Cukai).
Our rainbow, blue, gold, and purple anodized finishes are created via voltage-controlled electrochemical oxidation—no organic dyes or paints that bleach under Indonesia's intense equatorial UV rays are used. For applications demanding high wear resistance against abrasive grit or cables, our Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) titanium nitride coatings provide surface hardness exceeding 2000 HV.
Whether you need a prototype run of custom headset spacers for a boutique frame launch in Surabaya or bulk procurement of DIN/ISO racing bolts, our senior machining engineers provide complete DFM reviews and detailed quotations within 4 hours.
