Title: New school stem help needed
Post by: oldschoolace on July 12, 2013, 10:31 PM

Hey guys, left my calipers in work and need to know the exact diameter of the steerer tube hole in a new school stem. Is it actually 1 1/8th inch or is it a metric measurement thats nearly 1 1/8th?  :-\

No this puppy will be all hand drilled/milled.

Got this waterjetcut but the components will be simpler on the new one  :daumenhoch:
