Stem options
too slow to go
Posts: 89
I recently boutght a Raleigh clubman and the stem its just too long for me at 110mm but the problem is the bars are 26.0
I need a stem that is silver, 90mm, 26.0 clamp with 1.1/8 my Google foo is drawing a blank after trawling the big online sites any recommendations?
My other option is to replace the bars aswell and just go for 31.8... I do like the Ritchey classic finishing kit.
Looking for opinions guys, new stem or new bars and stem?

Or just buy a 26.0 stem and accept black?...

Thomson used to do the Elite stem in silver and 26.0, if you can dig one of those up s/hand
or order from the US, if the postage is not daft

Maybe worth checking if this is 1 1/8th

Thanks guys, I didn't know about shims... As they say "every day is a school day"
Might just go with the ritchey classic and a shim, thanks for your help.0 -
Just thought i would throw an update out if anyone does a search on a similar topic.... here is a link for threadless stems in 25.4/26.0 x 80-120.
