Subject: Headset riser for 1.25 steerer?
|
Anyone know of a source for said item?
Lots of 1.125 risers and some 1.0's, but I can't find any for 1.25.
I beat up a disc in my back and both the Doc. and PT say I need to bring my
bars up a couple of inches. Easy on my fast bike and rain bike, but I'm
struggling with our tandem since the stem is already on the rise.
My next-best solution is one of these risers, if I can find one.
Thanks,

Absolute worst-case scenario - get a head tube reducer to neck it down
to 1 1/8, and replace the stem, headset and fork. You could leave the
steerer uncut, and if that's not high enough, extenders are easily
available in that diameter.

Yeah, I noticed those reducers and thought about that idea.
Pretty pricey thou'. I'm really glad Santana has an extender they sell for
$40!
