This is a common thing sadly.

The bike industry Always tries to tell you how advanced they are, with a lot blabla.
The reality is that it is a very mediocre organised industry.

How come that manufactures AND shops doesn't mention the specs like outerdiameter?
How difficult is that? How serious are they? Why do they think we don't want to know?

Complete fail of all parties involved.

Most spacers are 35 mm
There are Pro spacers of 34
And you can find Ritchey spacers of 33 mm

So happy that a) I have a lathe and b) I don't really care that much :)

This annoyed me too so I made an integrated spacer and bearing cover on a 3d printer.

The forum won't let me post a link because I just registered. But to see, on youtube go to: /watch?v=456tLuolBmM
