|  riser bars | Rob F. Jun 14, 2002 5:26 PM | | I just ordered riser bars and am not sure if they will work with my stem. I have a kore lite stem that only has one bolt for loosening. The front of the stem does not come off like most,which would be really convenient when changing bars. It just looks to me like I won't be able to work risers through my stem. Does anyone know if you can? |

Good Dirt |

|  Some risers will go through a single bolt... | Jim Jun 14, 2002 8:51 PM | | I have a Kore Lite with riser bars. An Answer Pro Taper. If you put a penny in the slot behind the adjusting bolt and tighten the bolt against the penny the stems bar hole is expanded and the bar will fit fine. Of course this trick can't be done many times because it weakens the stem and results in a crack. Good luck |
