Hey guys, i am in a financial situation, where i am almost obliged to buy a handlebar shim. My sister for my birthday bought me (without me knowing) some answer 2 inch riser 25.4 bars. My stem requires a 31.8 bar. So the problem here is whether or not a handlebar shim will do it what its suppose to. As if it never existed. I was wondering if its safe? I'll be doing XC/a little bit of free ride (nothing huge). I have read a few threads out there, and ive heard on and off good things about handle bar shims. Right now wheel manufacter's makes one out of aluminum that is only 8 bucks shipped to me. I really like the bars my sister gave me, but for safety reasons i have to ask you about your concept on these things. Whether its safe or not. Or how long it last. If any of you uses these feedback would be great! =D
My bars are made out of 6061 aluminum, and so is my truvativ hussefelt stem.
I heard if you mix metals... the corrosion of surfaces could affect the clamping force on the shim to the bars. So i made sure i was oging to buy all the same metals (aluminum) for this.
Let me know =D thanks guys!
