profile stem knowledge

[Gish]

just bought a profile shafted stem to put on my s&m challenger and once fitted with slam bars it feels way too low if i was to adjust the stem so it sat 1" higher could i get spacers of some sort to go round the shaft of the stem.

cheers gish

It should have come with a spacer that goes below the stem....

never got a spacer with it and also had to wait 3 weeks for it from alans bmx

Shop i got that stem from had 2, one of em didnt have a spacer... 

Its 1/2" so just stick a wanted ad up for a 1/2" flexfighter, someone will have one knocking about

isnt the profile flex fighter a hop up kit spacer off a ss crank  or is it just under sized.

[Gish]

got these

do these fit snug around the shaft of the stem also how much?

[Gish]

not snug no, theres about 1.5mm of space.  £3  for 2?

what sizes are threy glen

[Gish]

they're 1"  inside diameter, 25.4mm

i mean the width of these i.e 1/4" or 1/2" so on

Good call Dan, i've been sad enough to go take the stem off and give it a try, a 22mm spacer is too big and a 19mm too small.... 

Assumed ss cranks use a 22mm axle?

[Dark Diggler]

Aye 

[Gish]

they're 1"  inside diameter, 25.4mm

they would be too big glen as they must be for a 1 1/8" stem were i need them for a 1" stem
