I was test fitting Nitto RM016N "Mustache" handlebars to a Nitto "Dirt Drop" stem, and doing so marred the handlebar's clamp area because the stem was just a little too small for a slip fit. Not much, just a tiny bit, but I thought, "Wait, What?!"
Both the bars and stem were prominently marked 26mm and the bars measured 1.024-inches (26mm=1.0236 inches, a nominal 4 ten-thousandths less than my bars measured). Oh well, even Nitto has manufacturing tolerances, or they wouldn't also sell stem spreaders. On the other hand, I need to check out the carbon fiber friction paste others have mentioned, because I have another bar-stem set that slip a little, even though again the numbers match and they should mate. Trouble with the integrated bar-stem system is that I like to fine-tune the tilt of the bars to suit my (no longer mint condition) wrists. Eric, Spokane P.S. Mandatory Rivendell content: these were all for my Appaloosa. On Saturday, October 12, 2019 at 12:37:06 PM UTC-7, jeff perry wrote: > > Is anyone else experiencing slipping Bosco bars? . . .
