Post by: meticulous on August 12, 2008, 05:47 PM

I know, they're not the nicest to ride with. I have some some on a master and my Gen1, but want another set for another project... I love Haro Vectors, I've always thought they're the best looking bars (in my opinion of course)

I thing that is an ACS stem bolt , Potts mod, turn up on the bay from time 2 time, vectors need a different wedge 2 that normally, thats why it broke 2 b honest. The type of wedge u need is the same as on a Suntour power stem in shape but the threads differ so not interchangable.

i realise that the suntour power stem one fits now, as i have fitted one on along with the bolt :daumenhoch:
now i have a useless suntour stem... :'(
