Installing or Removing risers or drop handle bars with Quill stem

I may well do that mate. You about in the afternoon?

Yup, give me a call first in case I need to exercise the ankle-biters, but otherwise I'll be around.

:-0 btw, you haven't got a spare front wheel knocking about have you?

Sorry, nowt at the moment.

Im having problems at moment, mating my riser bars to quill stem, the bars have a middle measurement of 25.4mm and the stem 26.4mm, Ive seen seatpost shims that will do 25.4mm to 26.4mm , and think that the way to fit would be to cut one of these down, but wandered if anyone had other suggestions, ive tried using coke can shims, and it just keeps rotating loose, not easy trying to force sharp bits of metal into the inside of stem!!

It can be done, try scoring the coke can material a little, or grab some thicker material from a DIY shop, failing that... get a new stem.

you'll need a negative inverse shim

It can be done, try scoring the coke.

Works for me

.

Past experience of the same problem leads me to advise you that 4 over lapping shims made from a fosters can should sort you out

Sloping stem/riser bars. WTF...

Thanks vinylvillain, thats exactly what ive found too, ive just got it to work, thanks for advice, looks cool

Yes or no. Somehow it doesn't seem right to me?

Your God won't help you here.

Whats wrong with 'em?
And how is it any different to risers with an a-head (except IMO the aesthetic reasons)?

The aesthetic reason is THE reason

ride whatevers most comfortable for ya mate!

It has been proved that it works

£1 please.you know the answer is its only wrong if on a downward sloping stem....it says so here on the internet so mush be shrooms

OK, I realise this is probably in the wrong bit of the forum and all that, but can anyone tell me how the fcuk you get handlebars on to a quill stem? 'cos I'm buggered if I can work it out.

undo the bolt a bit and put them in?
