Want to replace brake levers with cross levers... what's the right size/diameter of handlebars?
702936
The center of the handlebars (stock) are 25.4mm. However, learning from my mistakes, the diameter of the bar tapers down from the center so I would suggest finding brake levers from 22-24mm. That or get shims at a LBS, though for brakes it's a huge meh :/

It seems to be a standard size, but I haven't measured. The question is more around the length from the end of the grip to your front brake. Often times, the front hand brake (if you have one) is shorter due to the low hand breaks, and you may find it stretches that cable. But the handlebars worked great for me, with no noticeable difference in the dimension your asking.

Sorry, I have no definite answer. Maybe you have one of the newer Razors. I could not find a number on the Razor. These wheels were an exact replacement for my daughter's original Razor from almost 20 years ago. There is plenty of clearance from the brake lever. The front wheel has about 2-3 mm separation from a bolted "cross brace".

what size diameter handle bar do you have? If its about 7/8 od you should be ok use wd4o to put them on

You will need new levers that are compatible with "V-Brakes". At one time Shimano, and maybe other companies, made a brake lever that could be adjusted for each style of brake. You probably do not have this lever, but just look at the top of your lever body to see if yours is adjustable.

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

The handlebar is standard diameter - about 1". The wrap around the handlebar isn't that great but I figure if it has issues it will be easily replaced.

These handlebars fit a 25.4mm clamp on your stem. The other popular size is a 31.8mm clamp. So make sure you have 25.4mm bars, or buy a new stem. But you have a bigger issue. I think a windsor tourist comes with drops. You are going to need all new brake levers and shifters, as this bar is a replacement for straight bar or mountain biking handlebars. (It's an AWESOME handlebar for touring, however.)

That will depend on the bars you are replacing. If your bars have standard clamping bar mounts, measure from the approximate center of the bar mount vertically to give yourself an estimate of the height of your bars. These bars are very close to the specified 12" height. so if your bars are close to this you may get away with out needing new cables or extensions. I wasn't so lucky, but there are many quality companies, on Amazon as well, that sell custom made cables & hoses. Don't forget that even if you do get away without needing the hardware, your bike also has electrical wires that may need extending too. And also remember that if they fit sitting straight on, they may become tighter as the bars are rotated from side to side. Hope this has given you some things to look at to make a more informed decision.

The handlebar end will eventually cut the inside of the grip. Look for one that will fit the measurments of your bars.

I suppose you could use bar end shifters on these handlebars. I use thumb shifters from a trail bike. There is enough room on handlebar ends for the shifters and the brakes.Cliff Joens

the steerer tube on these forks I 265 mm. you will, more than likely, need to cut them to size. you can find most other info you need on sram.com. I have enjoyed these forks

Mine looks like a standard Schwinn bicycle handlebar (7/8"-1") guestimate. I put mine snug to the grip on the left side and as horizontal as possible. The shaft is about 5" and the mirror extends about an inch/so more. I adjust it the first time to give me the best rear view before tightening it down well. For even better safety another mirror on the right hand side would be good.

Depends on where you want them. I'm using cross brakes on the flats up by the stem, and I got a pair with 24mm clamps, thinking that would be correct, but the taper happens more slowly than I had estimated. If you want to get the brake lever all the way up to touch the stem, then yes, do 25.4mm clamp diameter. However, if you'd like the brake somewhere else, a 24 is a good choice. I think 22 would be too narrow, but clearly I'm not great at estimated clamp diameter.

Some older metric bike handlebars are 3/4" or 7/8" not 1" like the new ones. It's just a spacer if needed. I love mine. 20 oz. bottles tip over though while riding. Lol smaller bottles or cans work fine.

Keep in mind that these are made for MTB handlebars, which are 22.2mm in diameter at the grip. Most road bars are 23.8mm in diameter; some are even bigger. Sheldon Brown has a good list of handlebar sizes. In order to fit these on road bars, you'd probably need ream out the clamps by .8mm (or close to it). I'm not sure whether that would affect their structural integrity. The only bar-ends I know of that are sized for road bars are the Dia Compe knob grips, model DC138 -- if you can find them. If you've got a better solution, let me know -- I'd like to do something similar.
