I'd like to tap the wisdom of slowtwitch for a little advice.
I've got a 1" carbon steer tube on my forks and I'm having a hell of a time finding ANY stems that are MADE for 1" steer tubes AND have an oversized clamp (my current bars are 31.8's).
It appears as though my only choice is to go with a 1 1/8" clamp and use a shim, but I'm weary of shimming on a carbon steer tube.
Would you shim it, or get some standard bars and a 1" stem made for them?
What say the sages of Slowtwitch?
Thanks,
Karma
