Do they only exist in the US? I want to get some risers which are only in 25.4mm.
Or will a sliced and diced coke can work?

You could try asking in the Bikes And Bits section; it's where all the knowledgeable people hang out.

What risers do you want? I have some for sale and they are plenty in cheap ass bike shops! I found some for £6.99 new and have been the best rise and sweep etc etc!

are you sure? I just did it a couple of time, work perfectly well, unless your stem is stubborn (mine's a Nitto).

Coke can shim works well. Trick is to cut it slightly narrower than the clamp, so nothing sticks out to cut you. Do it slowly and carefully.

Condor sell those Nitto shim if you're looking for a proper one.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
