Do Oversized Bars Fit Standard Clamps?Updated a month ago

Oversized bars = more strength. But can they fit a standard clamp? Let’s break it down 🔍🛠️

Oversized bars have a larger outer diameter than standard bars — which affects what clamp you can use. If you try to fit them into a standard clamp, you’ll run into some serious compatibility issues.

But don’t worry — we’ve got workarounds. Here's everything you need to know 👇

📏 What Are Oversized Bars?

• Outer Diameter: 34.9 mm

• Inner Diameter:

  • 32 mm = Steel (for HIC)

  • 28 mm = Aluminum (for IHC)

💡 Oversized aluminum bars are confusing — they look big outside, but the inside is still standard diameter!

🔧 Standard Clamps (31.8 mm) — Do They Fit?

❌ No. A standard clamp will NOT fit oversized bars out of the box.

But you have 2 options:

✅ Option 1: Use an Oversized Clamp (34.9 mm)

• Works with all oversized bars

• Most oversized clamps include a shim, which lets you use them with standard bars too

• Best choice for flexibility

✅ Option 2: Use a SCS Clamp

• SCS clamps are available in both standard and oversized versions

• SCS doesn’t use slitted bars, so your oversized bars must have no slit or need a bar adapter

• Great option if you want max strength and clean setup
