Now to look for a handlebar that is more my liking .... darn I have to visit bike shops .... my wife always worries because it is dangerous for me to go to bike shops (N+1 and all).
I have no problem with changing the stem on the Fuji to accept a 31.8 handlebar.
No problem right?
No problem at all... as long as the stem you get has the right diameter for clamping the steerer tube on your fork, and the height of the steerer clamp is sufficient to allow headset adjustment (the stem + spacers must be slightly taller than the steerer tube so the topcap can push the stem down and preload the bearings.
