worksman handle bar clamp upgrade?

[bobby]

whats a good handle bar clamp and down piece?

Are you talking about a handlebar stem? It is beyond me why Worksman builds the toughest bike on the planet and puts a cheap Wald stamped steel stem on it. I always tell people to find a good forged steel vintage Schwinn Stingray stem from about 1970. You can find them all day long for $20. A very good quality made in the USA stem.

yes it is called a stem. i couldnt find one thanks sportscarpet...also do yo know what diameter bars to run with the stingray stem?

 

[sportscarpat]

7/8" bars with 1" clamp area. Call Memory Lane Classics for Schwinn stems.

 

[bobby]

7/8"? i thought they measure bars in metric? will 25.4 fit? and whats their number? good service?

 

[bairdco]

yeah, Wald products have really gone downhill. sucks, since they've been around since the early 1900's.

we don't take kindly to that stupid metric system here in america, bobby, but just so ya know. 1" = 25.4mm
