Re: [RBW] Re: French Nitto Stems
Even better is a bench vice, a couple wood shims and Emory cloth- or, if you can find it, the abrasive roll-tape used for burnishing copper pipes found in the plumbing aisle. Get a good wrap on the steerer (mark/mask where you want the insertion to be) and go to town.

[RBW] Re: French Nitto Stems
Agreed that sandpaper is the easiest way to go just did one myself to a Pivo stem to replace an AVA Death stem (the kind with two expansion slits) but there are retail options: http://www.yellowjersey.org/frogstem.html http://bandlbicycles.com/about/french-stems-22.0-french-bicycle-advice-pg348.htm http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=french+bike+stem On Mar 27, 9:57 am, Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com wrote: Does anybody know if Nitto offers stems in a size to fit a French steerer? --Eric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
