Does anyone still offer a 1" road stem or is everything 1 1/8" now?

    I think the 1" stems you will find now are NOS, Planet X usually has a few.
    Just shim it to 1.1/8" if you're struggling?

    I had a shim on my last bike with a 1in steerer, it was fine

    put the gap in the shim at a different point away from the clamping section, makes for a more secure clamp

  • "PRO" make 1" stems still, but I believe they only fit standard bars.
