I was wondering if you can help me out. I have a set a very nice bullhorns that i would like to keep using. There is no label on them anywhere and i do not know the brand. These are perfect for me. they are 38 or 39 cm. Right now i have a nitto tecnonmic stem on them. the fit is really tight!!! it takes a struggle to get them on. this stem is a 1" quill stem with a hole drilled in the center for brakes. I also have another nitto stem that doesn't fit these bars.It is an older track stem with no hole drilled. I am guessing the tecnomic is 26 and the other nitto is 25.4 does anyone know of a place i can find a list of stems brands with size. i have tried many of the stems i have laying around and can;'t seem to get any to fit. these bars must be large. I need a longer stem to fit these bars the one i am using now is too short


thanks

www.sheldonbrown.com has every Nitto stem made I think. He should be able to tell you what you need and set you up.

Technomics are available in both 26 and 25.4 mm sizes. It would probably be easiest to take tha bars into an LBS to measure if you don't have calipers around. Just google Nitto to find out what your options are. Harris Cyclery (as per the post above) is a good option...
