What size handle bars will I need to convert to drop bars?

I don't know exactly but they sell different size bars on the retrospec website.

Anyone about an inch in diameter will be fine as it has a 4 screw adjustment.

If the handlebars are either 7/8" or 1" diameter it will work...may look funny though....

No it requires an ugly shim. I just sent a question to Tate labs about the Barfly, as i have several Classic road bikes and it looks horrid with a shim. The Standard I.S.O. size 25.4 mm, is the Stem Clamp size used on the vast majority of newer bicycles with upright handlebars, and most steel drop bars. I guess the size should be 26.0 and 26.4 mm that the Italian and some aftermarket drop bars use, and a shim provided for the The Standard I.S.O. size 25.4 mm would be best...

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.

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.

Possibly. The possibility hinges on the size of the handlebars without grips. If the big wheel's handlebars are the size of the average bike handlebars then it will be possible. (I currently don't have this sizing information available.) If they are slightly larger than that default size, you may find that the hole for the handlebars on the Drop Ends may be too small. I would closely examine them in person to decide.

Sorry, unfortunately I don't know and I don't have the grips anymore. We didn't use them as bike grips as intended but for a completely unrelated application. What I would say is that they would be the right size for a conventional handlebar, not over or undersized. The quality seemed very good.My apologies that I couldn't be more help.TyB

Depends. I was able to mount my wife's upside down. My daughter's bike barely fit the regular way. So I was able to get them on without issue, but a converter bar might have been easier for my wife's.

I'm not sure I just kept the original bars on. But I'm pretty sure those scooters will fit any handle bar. They make those so they are compatable to fit just about everything from what the local kids are talking about.

Ya, there's a little flexibility. I haven't measured exactly how much, but I should think that a 1 inch dia bar would be perfect. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that's what my bicycle handles were too.

Depends on the diameter of your handle bars. They fit most sizes.. and they come with an adapter for narrower bars. I'm not 100%, but if you never changed out your handle bars, you should be fine

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.

I purchased this bar for a gas powered bike throttle fit perfectly...but I can't confirm the size.

I used them successfully for a drop to upright conversion for 3x8 derailleur set

It needs to be in the 3/4 to 7/8 inch range. You could adapt to a smaller diameter by adding padding to the handlebar -- perhaps several layers of duct tape -- and you could go larger by replacing the threaded bolt with a longer one.

In order for you to convert <easily> to disc brakes you need to have wheel, frame and fork compatibility. From the left side of your bike look at the outside edge of your wheel hub, the lower front fork and the the rear seat stay above the axle. You should see, if compatible, six small threaded holes in the wheel hub <for disc mounting>, two threaded standoffs on the fork and rear seat stay <for calipers>. The absence of either will preclude compatibility and be an indication of what is required. Your existing brake levers, if mechanical wire pull, should be compatible.

They fit a variety of diameters of handlebars. I have them on both my road bike and modified Mt bike. I don't have the specific specs though.
