Title: profile stem knowledge
Post by: Gish on September 11, 2010, 12:36 PM
just bought a profile shafted stem to put on my s&m challenger and once fitted with slam bars it feels way too low ??? if i was to adjust the stem so it sat 1" higher could i get spacers of some sort to go round the shaft of the stem.

cheers gish :)

It should have come with a spacer that goes below the stem....

Good call Dan, i've been sad enough to go take the stem off and give it a try, a 22mm spacer is too big and a 19mm too small....  :D

Assumed ss cranks use a 22mm axle?
