Wotcha,

I'd like to replace the Azonic Shorty stem currently on my bike for a Demolition F40 bmx one. Can anybody tell me if there would be a difference in in handlebar thickness's?
I'm not sure if I can simply fit a set of RaceFace bars into the bmx stem?

Many thanks :)

Had to alter the stem number from an F1 to F40

    What diameter of bars do you currently run? If they are the same, then they will swap.

    Is the other clamp of the stem the same (for the steerer tube?)
  • Wotcha,

    I'm not currently sure what the diameter of the bars I currently use are :?

    But I do know that the steerer clamps are the same :)
    I think I need to find a clamp on the bar end at a size of 25.4mm?

    Its usually printed on the bar - either is 25.4 or 31.8mm at the clamping section.
  • Wotcha,

    Many thanks for the advice :)
    Greatly appreciated :wink:

    I used a rather uncomplicated method in the end...
    Wrapped a cable tie around the Race Face Low Riders and then tried the same tie around a spare pair of bmx bars and there is sadly a large difference :(

    Thanks for the help though, it'll teach me to find other ways of filling my time :lol:
