I need a new stem and my bars aren't 31.8mm. Don't seem to be able to find a stem with a 25.4mm clamp size.

Is it totally old fashion or what ? do I need to get new bars???

I just don't understand.... 😐

25.4mm is 2 'standards' out of date:

35mm is where its at ..

What length stem are you after? If you look hard enough theres usually been something to buy? Havent looked for a while though
Are bontrager still doing 25.4mm (though 2bolt clamp) stems?

I've have an 80mm (Superstar) and a couple of 90mm (Kore + FSA) FS. Think I've got a Deus 70mm somewhere too. Drop me a line...

Thanks for all the offers. I need a 90mm with some rise (about 10deg).

I'll get an FSA from crc. wanted a nice thomson one but nevermind.... i guess it does the same job.

MrsMugsy - I found a Raceface Turbine stem with a 25.4 clamp in my magic box-of-spares at the weekend. Think it's an 80mm but I can check when I get home. It's been in storage for a while but is in pretty good nick - the finish is a black powder-coat. I was going to put in on the classifieds when I got round to it ...

Hi again MrsMugsy,

RF stem measures in at 90mm - can't quite judge the angle but it looks like it's at least 10 degrees. I'll try and sort out a couple of photos and mail to you.
Stem is a bit dusty and the bolts holding the faceplate on are a bit rusty but it's only on the surface. All bolts have been well greased and are nice and free. The rest ofthe stem is in great condition - just a bit of wear on the underside where it's in contact with the headset/spacers.

Cheers,

Simon.

I have two Thomson Elite stems; 70 and a 90mm but only the bodies so you'd need to swap round the rest but it'd give you the option to setup/change with each new bike: markhoracekuk at yahoo.com
