    im using a bmx stem with a bar clamp diameter of 22mm. i cant find a set of risers that size and im wondering if either someone knows where i can find some or can if i can get away with using a 25.4 because thats the smallest size risers i can find.

    i need to figure it out before i buy something thats the wrong size and wont fit. any help would be appreciated

    Don't use the wrong size bars in the wrong sized stem.

    I've seen people cut off the bottom of some BMX bars. I think it looks kinda silly, but it's a possibility. You can use a pipe cutter or a hacksaw, then file it down smooth on the bottom.

    get bmx racing bars. plenty of people run 1 piece risers on 24" cruisers or on junior and mini/micromini frames. you just have to look.

    why go crazy cutting up bars when you can get the real deal

    in general just search for "crupi handlebars" on ebay you'll find a good number of them. it looks like dans and albes dont really carry them much anymore but you can still track them down pretty easy.
    check out answer and crupi as brands. if you go with answer though make sure you are getting bmx bars and not mtn bike bars wont work with a bmx stem.

    or just google search something like "mini bmx components" or "mini bmx handlebars" "24'' cruiser handle bars" or some shit. you'll find something.
