I have 2 questions about my grit extremist 2
Okay so first i need to make my bars higher up without buying new bars, can i do this with just spacers?
Also am i able to fit a SCS onto my grit without cutting down the barsize, or to increase my bar height can i get a 4 bolt clamp and not push the bars all the way down only to the 3rd bolt maybe?
Thanks

if you are 6 foot, i would recommend 23" bars. Im not sure where you can get some from though, because you are located in a different country than me.

Don't know- since I'm in the US I don't follow costs of parts in other countries.

There really isn't away around getting taller bars by adding spacers and using just part of the clamp.

An SCS certainly would add the height you need but those cost about as much as new bars and should be used with Threadless forks with a starnut- which I don't think your scooter has.

For USA people, £30 is the lowest you could possibly spend on bars, my 81 customs T bars cost that, idk if you can get any others that cheap: go on skatehut, skates.co.uk, Dogg, all the different sites and just have a look.

Edit: only under £30 are slamm, mgp krunk and 81 bars; although on skatehut they're selling slightly scratched district bars cheap.

The fork tube only goes up inside the bars about 2.5"- you don't have a couple of inches to add that size of a Spacer.

Most folks using a spacer on scooters are using 1/4" or less.

if your worried about the slits, just cut a few inches off an old fork and put it inside your bars it ensure the slit does not compress. that's what im going to do soon with my grit bars on my district with proto baby scs

There is no cheap solution to you're problem. If you hsve a welder you could taper yout bars and run hic, that'd be the cheapest solution
