What stem and handlebars?

Hi guys,

Looking for a stem between 50 and 70 mm ... Anyone able to suggest any good ones?

Also looking for wide bars, again, any suggestions?

Thanks

What bike is it for? Do you want light weight as a priority, strength, or a compromise? What budget?

And what size steerer etc......

Preferably a compromise of the two

It's a talon 3 ... Not sure on the size of the steerer, where am I measuring for that?

And preferably no more than about £70 ... Could go to £100 at a push, would just need to wait till payday lol

I don't know what/how you ride, but basing it only on the bike you ride, personally I would spend almost the whole budget on the bars. A £15 stem is hard to tell from a £50 one (or a £75 one tbh) but bars are worlds apart. I would get some of these:

and something like one of these:

Which would only just bust the £70 budget, be very light for the money, stiff, comfy and look pimp too.

How wide do you want to go?

I'd look at one of these (and cut to size):

And their stem:

Steerer on the talon is a standard inch and a eight.

Those all look good :O

Will probably get a cut to size one so I can get it perfect,

And thats fair enough with the stem but I also like the look of the shorter ones so may get one later on anyway

Thanks
