Just that really. It is for my son's bike Found [url= https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/STOOCNC/on-one-ultralight-cnc-stem ]this one[/url] which is the right price and length but not the right bar clamp.

I think I probably shouldn't use a shim, what's the thoughts on this?

I don't see any reason why a 25.4mm > 31.8mm shim wouldn't be a perfectly good solution.

perfect, thanks.

I have just bought him a nice new (second-hand) bar 😳 Should have looked at stems before I did that I suppose!

The ones on his bike at the moment are steel. I also have a new fork for him. I'm thinking I should just replace the headset too while I'm at it?

Jumping on the bandwagon, I've got a 50mm 25.4 clamp Easton Havoc that's going spare. Drop me a mail if you're interested 🙂

Thanks all 😆

How to decide...hmmm I think Easton Havoc sounds a bit better than a Truvativ shitty 😉 As long as the price is right 🙂
