Hello all. I'm new to this site but have been an avid cyclist for a while.
As mentioned in the title I would like to know if a Cannondale SI Urban OPI Stem Handlebar: http://qwertycycles.co.uk/products/cannondale-si-urban-opi-stem-handlebar-combo
would fit my
2014 Specialized Crosstrail expert disc:
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/specialized/crosstrail-expert-disc-2014-hybrid-bike-ec042526
My reasons are I owned a Cannondale badboy 29er before my Specialized and liked the handlebar set-up, integrated headlight and imagined it would be slightly lighter as well.
Cannondale handlebar specification: 1.5" and Headshock size, 600mm wide, 100mm long stem, 7deg rise.
Specialised Specification:
Handlebars: Specialized double-butted, alloy Flat-Top bar, 31.8mm, 10-degree back bend
Stem: Specialized 3D forged alloy, 6-degree rise, 31.8mm clamp
Headset: 1-1/8" FSA Campy style integrated cartridge, 8mm alloy cone spacer
I know their will be a slight difference in body geometry due to the cannondale stem being 10mm longer but my main question is will the Cdale bars be able to clamp on to my current headset seeing the Cdale bars are 1.5" and specialized headset 1-1/8". I'm not sure if this number is the riser height or the clamp diameter?
I am open to opinions on weather its a suitable upgrade, if my current set up is better or recomendations on a completely different set up and any help answering my questions would be much appreciated.
