Thanks, Michael. If I understand correctly, you're saying to try to find an albastache bar that mistakenly had the wrong collar installed - not to find a smaller collar alone, to swap. ( I guess that's the only way it would work, so of course that's what you're saying.) I'll ask Riv, but I won't push them if it's really a time sink. I might take the opportunity to ask if there are plans for bars in the other size though.
I find it kind of curious that they would have chosen the 26.0 if there was going to be only one option. There are currently three Nitto moustache bars in rotation in my household, and they're all 25.4. And several dirt drop stems, all in 26.0. Sometimes they get used together with shims, but more often not. It's sure nice to have the flexibility of multiple options.
