Hi,

What was the standard diameter pre 31.8, can anyone remind me please?

Also, does anyone have a 50/60mm old standard stem that they've move on from and want to move on for much cheapness?

Thanks.

Stu.

Yuo can get shims to take your 25.4 bars upto a 31.8 aswell. They come supplied with the Guessett Staff stem, but you'll be able to buy em separate.

You can get stem shims if, as I think, you're trying to use a 25.4mm bar.

I've used them without incident. On my SS for about 5 years now. Easton actually make/made some.

These used to be much cheaper, i'm still using mine but i remember it was something like £6, now it's £19!

I think the classifieds will be your friend here, loads of people will have this stuff lying around not being used as it's uncool. 😀
