Stems for bar conversion

Just picked up some cheap Renthal bars and i'm now after a stem.

Is it worth spending more and getting a doppler or stage6 stem or do you recon a bmx stem would do if i can find one the right size?

 

Bmx stem would be ok if you found one to fit, billy on here used a mountain bike stem and it looked a bit different but worked ok.

Just make sure its a good stem obv.

 

And fitted propaly and tight. lol

 

haha

im sure alperin can show you how to tighten your bars

 

i used a moutain bike one from halfords, but the renthal bars are really thin compared to bike bars, make sure you get the right size
bolt the clamp to the tube too for extra securtiy

 

yeh i used a trials biek stem i think, rake wa too much on it though, if the rake isnt as much as mine will be perfect and cheapest option

Spanking colour, that.

I reaallllllyyyyyy Like that SR :drool:

Just trying to understand it in my head, does the stem connect to the forks, then the handlebars to the stem?

 

yerr

 

cheers for the help guys

Thats one mean looking sr billy, I love it

 

get a bgm or simliar, safter then mountain bike stems, has the part that goes inside the actual stem and expands when tightened, so not only is it bolt to the stem but its bolted inside.

 

Ive gone for a doppler one as it cost around the same as a good quality BMX stem. Dunno if it tightens like the bgm but im not much of a stunter so it should be fine

 

what ever ou do dont modify anything to fit, i ground down my bars to fit my stem before i done my second conversion and after a month they felt weird so went home, pushe my bike in and bars snapped clean in half :msn1:
