stem options?
Hey,
I recently purcahsed a set of bullhorn bars for my KHS Flite 100 fixed gear. I got a good deal on them online, but didn't think of one thing...
My steer tube is 1" and the bars are 31.8mm. I'm having a hard time finding a stem that would fit those dimensions.
I know that they make reducing shims, but I don't know if they are good or not. Any ideas?
Also, any idea if anyone makes a 1" to 31.8mm stem?
Any help is appreciated.
-Erik

The shims for 1" steerers work fine. Just make sure the steerer and shim are degreased so nothing slips around and torque it all to spec.

thanks guys. I'm picking one up today from my LBS.
Just wanted to make sure that it was a good solution. Luckily they're only a couple of bucks.
