Nitto has an open face UI-2137 mm in height having a Velo Orange quill with height of at least 180mm in 26.0 to go along with the 31.8 ( of which I'm interested in) would be well received IMO.Skewered Left bicyclist addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555123341082976564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1275167073448540972016-10-04T12:35:24.028-04:002016-10-04T12:35:24.028-04:00There are plenty of high-rise stems already out th...There are <i>plenty</i> of high-rise stems already out there for 25.4mm and 26.0mm bars.

I've got some of their half-hoods and full hoods from you already(they are the BOMB) but I need to replace some missing or damaged cable adjusters.<br /><br />SpindizzyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-71751599463319691912016-09-30T11:26:47.572-04:002016-09-30T11:26:47.572-04:00any mojave cages?any mojave cages?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-65104072568639190032016-09-30T10:59:03.064-04:002016-09-30T10:59:03.064-04:00Call me old fashioned but why 31.8mm?
