USE bars and ends

[markoc]

Pete (once a hero) was referring to the handlebar needing a shim to take it up to 25.4 clamp size for stems as these flat bars are 22.2 mm

Better go measure the stem I’m using then…

Could be an expensive impulse buy [/facepalm]

You have 25.0-27.2 u s.e shims?

All USE seatposts require shims, they are all 25.0 as standard so you'll need a 25.0 >whatever size post your seat tube requires.
If you decide to go for it let me know what size you need as I possibly have one I can send for free and hopefully save someone from these crooks on Fleabay.

That’s very kind of you.

Aided and abetted by Mags’ prompt, plus my girlfriend whispering “just get it, you’ll only regret it if you don’t”, I have basically now just hit the (in my view, over priced) BIN.

Better match the small pile of green bits I have assembled, or I’ll be selling it here at a loss in a few weeks

Wow! You have one heck of a missus there...
Mine whispers not so nice words in my ear when she peers over my shoulder and sees what I'm looking at on eBay lol

I’ve never seen a green USE post outside of a catalogue, let alone NOS to buy. When is another ever goi go to come up.

I’ve wanted the bars/ends for years and years and never seen any in black. Just hoping the riding position works…
