The stem I have is for 1" diameter bars, not the normal 7/8" diameter we are all so used to :-\

At a push I would buy painted ones, but I would prefer chrome - let me know and I'll go get a set :coolsmiley:

Rick from Standard would make you some  :daumenhoch:

or did you mean 1" wide... even those would be a bit wee on you  :daumenhoch:

You can buy 22.2 - 25.4 shims buddy,

Cheers Si, I'll give the shim a try. I made my own but it doesn't hold :-\

Mark it up and don't leave it smooth, that might grip more !

Would do Andy but the bars are NOS un-knurled GT Experts and I don't want to fook them up....

The shim holds ok but not enough to bunnyhop down a flight of steps or something daft that i'll end up doing on Wini's ride out in Leeds, so I need to sort it properly as there is no place at my house for show ponies....  ::)

Yep, the white Retrogoose will have it's maiden de-flowering at Leeds Rob. Far too many NOS bits on the beatch that need scratching.....

Oh yeah, forgot about that V-brake. Bloody modern tech..... Best get that fixed too :2funny:

what about using some thing different than a "metal" shim not to damage the bars - surely when tightend it will leave slight marks ?
