Hello
Here is a question for Alpinestars kings and queens. I have recently purchased an old Alpinestars Easton 7005 stem. It is one of those for their own 28.6mm bars. I have seen these advertised as the other end being for a 1 1/8th inch steerer BUT it clearly is not.
It is more like a tad under if not 30mm though i have no vernier at home to be more precise. Am not going near my wokshop for some time so might end up hqving to buy a vernier. The other issue is a regular top cap falls into the stem but that is easier to sort, over a phone, without a vernier.
So; has anyone got dims for me, or maybe a shim and top cap if you have been down this rabbit hole yourself??
Anyhow.....happy xmas all. Stay well and safe and if it all gets too much please pick the phone up before picking up anything else and call a friend, or one of the many helplines. Do not suffer it out. That is a dark road that isnt worth riding!
Edit: a top cap doesn't fall into it if you pick up the right size when you aren't hangry and tired!!
