Do I need a bmx specific stem if I’m using bmx bars and will said stem fit my fork steerer without issues? thanks.
Too goofy for me, I tried to put I think 6" BMX bars onto my FGFS SE bike. It felt pretty crappy even with a bike that's semi made for tall bars 4" is where I would draw the line I think. I settled on bars that were 60mm which I think is about 2.2" somewhere around there. And about 24" wide.
