Can the handlebar clamp open wide enough to fit a handlebar without removing grips/tape?

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 had padded grips on my handlebars, so it was just easier to remove them first and replace them after installing the handlebars into the stem. I had to cut the grips to get them off, but I just rapped them with athletic tape after putting them back on.

No, at least one grip will require removal. Easy though. Get some soapy water and a flat tip screwdriver. Insert screwdriver between grip and bar putting soapy water in and twist. May have to do it in a couple spots to get it to release, but it will come off. Then when installing back on (the grip), use water and dip grip and push back on. It will twist and come off till water evaporates, but will stay on after that. Be careful till it evaporates. I was very pleased to have the extra height and would recommend it. It solved my back pain from being so bent over. Enjoy.

If you're talking about a mirror that mounts in the end of the handlebar then they already have a hole in the end. I will say that I had to cut mine (make them shorter) to accommodate my grip shifters.

Not sure, its on my bike now which is in for a tune up. I'll let you know when I get it back. It does open really wide though....

I don't think so. From your question, I'm assuming the last 3/4" of the handlebar is not in contact with grips' locking mechanism. I'd think it would be possible to shorten length of grips so they'd fit correctly. Otherwise, they're nice grips.

You could but the clamping mechism is a thick rubberband vs. a traditional clamp like you see on many of the higher end brands. I would not recommend mounting it to the fork. There are companies that make handle bar entensions your type of situation.

Yes. It will fit with plenty of room to spare. I assume you intend to use the clamp.

No, the clamps that come with them only fit 26.0 mm bars. If I remember correctly, that is why I gave these away.

I am not positive, but I used these on an older bike with what I would consider standard size handle bars. It is an optical illusion, when you see the clamps you will not think it will fit, but I pried the clamps open and then used a pliers to close them and they fit fine.

Yes, you will need the Rectangular Handlebar Kit available here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OO0ZM0

I would think so. I had this mounted on one of my bikes which has I believe a 1" handlebar, and there was still space between each half of the clamp.

My handle bar is 22mm and it fits perfectly. I do not see how the clamp could be spread enough to fit 31mm.

I had to look up "tour easy." This mirror has 3 joints for adjustment and should be able to accommodate as long as it fits in the end of your handlebar.

Yeah I think might fit, if not you can tape the arm pin to increase the thickness as Jeremy said. The downside is you will not be able to quickly removed the handle.

Yes, there are small and large sizes, but there are also different styles (lengths) for different handlebar setups. I actually ordered two sets. Longer ones for my bike that has thumb shifters, and (as a gift) another shorter set that is made for grip-shifters. Pay attention to which style you are ordering.

I could certainly go home and measure the opening ... but as it stands now -- I have two bikes in this rack and one is a mountain bike with big tires .. not sure of width but can check if you need exact dimension. Other thought -- while this is a really well built unit .. no reason you likely couldn't spread the "bars" a bit to get the exact fit you need.

Yes. I was dumb enough to order new grips without measuring my old grips, so I didn't realize that these aren't designed for a bike with grip shifters. It would have been too much hassle to return them, so I cut them down to size with a box cutter and used them anyway. The cut ends look a little raggedy, but hey, they work fine.

There is only 1.75" clearance between the two handle bar grabbing brackets, and it's not adjustable. If you have a large square joint where the handle bars connect to the stem, it may not fit. You may need a handle bar bag that is more adjustable.
