porter_jamie Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 sell them and buy some proper ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smobytoe Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well I have fitted the bars anyways bro. They have a strip of aluminium taking up the 1mm difference. Now there is plenty gap left in the clamp and they are pretty tight. I am still not sure about it tho and should maybe listen to you porter!

Evilchicken0 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 sell them and buy some proper ones sell them and buy some proper ones - 50mm is a common size and you should be able to just buy the clamp without the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
