Default Shortest risers for 1.25" handlebars?
Searching all over for a set of risers that add as little height as possble and work with bars that are 1.25" at the clamp area.

I would prefer ones with the bridge as opposed to two separate risers, but will take what I can get.

1" risers should be just fine.

I was on that same hunt not to long ago still haven't picked any up but was told by another forum member to check the site www.debrix.com and they had a lot of stuff. Shortest I've come across was 1.5" - 2"

I was going to take my stock 5" risers (1.25" dia.) and have them knocked down to 2" at a machine shop. Or in my case it would have been a 'government" job for one of the guys at work.

I love Alloy Art's risers, but they only go up to 1 1/8" bars.
