Title: Vector bar wedgie help
Post by: dannywhiteley on September 08, 2009, 06:56 PM

My Vector bars were pissing me right off.  Couldnt get them to tighten up, spent ages till I realised the thread on the wedge is shot and useless.

Bolt looks good, its just the wedge I need.

Anyone got one spare, or suggest where I might get a replacement?

Thanks guys...

i don't know about the angle,but design wise,i think an SR looks the same.

I tried a wedge off my SR stem from my TA and it was too small for this bolt to fit. 

I believe vectors are a funny size spindle.  They are Vector Pro bars as below:

if they're anything like Haro Vector bars then that wedge looks wrong, they're more like the suntour ones
