Handlebars, generic sizing on the stem clamp?

Hi all,

Sorry if I've worded the title badly! I want to put some aero bars onto my 2016 Fuji Transonic (size XL 58 cm) & I know I have 440 mm width bars and a 120 mm stem from here:

Question is if I buy some with an integrated stem would they all bolt straight on?


Thanks, Russ

    It's the steerer tube diameter you need to match.

    No idea how standard they are, someone who knows more than I do can no doubt help.

    Your bike has a 1 1/8" upper headset bearing, so you need a matching stem/bar combo for a
    1 1/8" (28.6mm) dia. steerer tube. If you are just swopping the handlebars you need to match the stem clamp dia. which is 31.8mm.

    That's brilliant, thanks for your help.
