James281098 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have a 31.8 stem and I have 25.4 bars, is there a thing I can buy to put around the bars to make it fit? Would it work or would they slip? Has anyone tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it work or would they slip? Has anyone tried it? Hmm that's 6mm or so spacing :// only thing I could advise would be to look at some new bars that are thicker in the centre, what bars you got may I ask?

JJ Leigh Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 it'll probably work, but id say get some of that super sticky double sided engineering tape and do a layer on the shim and a layer on the bars, but you wont be able to adjust your positioning very easily.... i say easily because you can move it the tiniest bit, but its un noticeable really. ive done it with my magua cuz the plastic backings are shit, therefore i dont need to do them up "tight" before they rip apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
