1" Ahead steerer and 1 1/8" stem

i have: 1" Ahead steerer and 1 1/8" stem.

anyway i can work it without shelling out for another stem?

or, if any of you have a 1" stem to get rid of that'll be great.

There are shims commonly available to get around this- some stems even come with them!

One of these should do it.

get a shim?

i think a shim is what you need! :p

shim-shim-sheree!

"Shimmy shimmy ya shimmy yam shimmy ya"

oh yeah i mean is it safe to make a shim myself or is that a bad idea, since it's 1/8", which is quite a lot

oh and anyway we can put shimmy and arrospok together? u guys are hilarious

edmundane oh yeah i mean is it safe to make a shim myself or is that a bad idea, since it's 1/8", which is quite a lot

should be fine, whats the worst can happen, you don't do it tight enough and you try to turn and get run over by a bus!?

you're the one that posted the wanking dog clip!!

NO diy shim. shimaNO.

They're cheap as chips... just get one.

They normally come free with 1 1/8 stems so if you ask nicely at your LBS they might have some to give away

How things been goin'?
Ahh, you know. Ups and downs, strikes and gutters.

good call i'll ask my LBS...

dogs i'm obviously still half asleep to ask such stupid questions here... zzzzzzz....... fuck the rain...

I've got a spare Cinelli yellow alien stem for 1"... want it?

ooh good good, how much you want for it VB?

do you mean the alter stem?

or do u want to save it till you won the most yellow bike award?? :)

The alter, that's it. It's bright yellow.

And I have a 1 1/8 steerer, so that was me screwed.

Still, only cost $50 or something via eBay, so not too much of a loss.

haha fiddy dorrar! wan arrospok?

i'll see how i get along with the shim, heading off to LBS, will let you know
