Has anyone replaced handlebars on this? I want to change to bullhorn and I cannot figure out the size of the stem slash the brake specs. Let me know

I have replaced the handlebars on this. It was easy and I used this handlebar off of Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006R1IU5S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The tires on mine are 700x28. To change to flatbar, you would have to either find a threaded/quill stem that would fit the handlebar that you want to buy. Handlebars usually run about $25 plus $10 for the grips, stem perhaps another $20. You would need new brake cables ($8), gear cables ($8), new brake levers/shifters ($40 a set). Otherwise, you would have to buy a new fork ($50-$200 depending on material), headset ($40), spacers ($5), stem (about $25), handlebar grips ($10) and handlebar ($25), plus the gear and brake cables and shifters/brakes as noted above.

You can get stem raisers that go in between the original stem and quill. The brake and or shifter cables may need longer also.

I really don't know. What i know is that i have measured the stem on my mountain bike before buying this stem. The original one was larger in diameter so i had to use a shim which i also bought on Amazon.

Ooooo!!! I like your bike!!! I have what I believe to be a very common setup. I think my bar is 1". The unit fits my bar but the bike shop took it off when I took it in for servicing and I havent bothered to put it back on. Have just ordered more comfortable grips so the cruise probably wont be missed.

Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb. They lasted me a bit then broke off. Rear will break off first then front.For the front fender, I had issues having it stay in tight so I did some modifications by putting a rubber band to get a better grip to stay in.My advise to you is, buy the DeFender™ XC1/XC11 Set, they come in 26 and 29 inch depending on your wheel size. Find them cheap on ebay! Got mine there. They look much better, more durable, and newest model from Topeak. Yours is a hardtail so you'll be fine. More of a problem with full suspension bikes when it comes to rear fenders but there are special ones made for FS MTB like the mudhugger. Hi John.I've have this pair on my full suspension mtb.

You would probably need a stem extender for the handle bars and the seat post. I am selling mine if interested. I've done upgrades. 4026701500

Looks like stock is 11". Don't know why they say it will not fit. Have had Progressive shocks over the years and was never impressed with them. The new sportsters do not have enough travel for a good ride. Set one up a couple of years ago with 13" shocks and the longer fork travel. Was a nice set up.

The bars fit on a stem that measures 25.4 mm or 1 inch. That is a standard size for typical bikes like a touring bike or mountain bike. I put the trekking bars on my 1990's Miyata 1000 touring bike in the fall. It fit perfect. Bars should be very comfortable. Didn't get to use the bike much before the snow came. I live in Canada.

It boils down to how long the grip is that covers the handle bar. I ordered xl but I ended up getting small. By time I realized it, it was too late. Still usable I just have to adjust my grip shifters. If I can help any other way let me know. Can even provide pics if needed. They are deffinately worth the money though.

I wish we could post pictures. I think 5 is easily doable. I just put 3 on with a ton of room to spare in the remaining 2 slots this past weekend. I didn't even take the pedals off. It's all a matter of pedal and handlebar placement and for women's bikes, the essential crossbar. Without that crossbar you are totally asking for frustration. Best $15 I've spent on a bike.

these bars are the same diameter as mountain bike handlebars. Looking at your Windor Tourist online, it appears to have drop bars which usually have a larger diameter from my experience. So my guess is that your brakel levers/shifters would not necessarily tranfer well to this bar and may not be able to be tighetened enough. Just my guess though. I do love these bars though!!!

If you use the Thule fit guide it will tell you exactly what parts you need. I suspect those bars are too short. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions. We are here to help. Cheers.

The handlebar stem I was replacing had the diameter etched into the surface. I think it was etched below the minimum insertion line. If you don't see that, you can measure the diameter or measure the circumference and calculate the diameter.

I used Projekt Fixie - Bullhorn Pursuit Style Bike Road Handle Bar 25.4 Silver and they worked great if that helps at all? 40cm, Bar Bore: 25.4mm, Diameter is 23.8mm

I have never used the handlebar, I just bought it put on my old bike when I bought new once. Sorry.

I am enjoying my bike. I am purchased the rear brake, and you may want a different set of handlebars. However, that would be a personal preference. I kept the stock handlebars. The rear brake was a big deal to me. I feel that it gives me more control over the bike.
