Help - Trying To Fit Riser Bars To Cinelli 1E Stem
Arghh!, im at a loss, ive tried using coke can as a shim, tried part of an old 26.2mm seat tube, nothing seems to be working, this latter one did work, until i realised that the centre is bigger, doh!, frustrated.
My problem is that I have a riser bar with a centre of 25.4mm and an old cinelli 1e stem with 26.4mm.
Is there a shim on the market that will help me out or is this a no go, I have seen other racing bikes with quill stems and riser bars, so guess its possible.

Cinelli made their own handlebar diameter standard and eventually abandoned it. You are probably much better off looking for a standard modern 25.4mm or 25.8mm quill stem (literally millions available) than trying to jury-rig a shim for your oddball stem. Save the Cinelli stem for a vintage road bike project.
That being said, the shim shown above might work.
