Handlebar / stem size problem

Postby Bendy Ben » 06 Apr 2013 15:33

Got new intergrated bars

It seems that the clamp size of new bars to bigger when done up than my steerer :-(

Yes I didn't check !!!

Any solutions ? Change steerer size - can that be done or return bars for a refund - clamp size is 31.8mm on new bars I think

Help !!!

The obvious solution is to buy a new bike which has the correct clamp size ;)
