Nitto tests bars and stems together and wants the bars to break before the stem. The bars are already strong, and they've found that even 51s (we had samples made). The workaround might be to make stronger stems, but then you get into a whole escalating mish-mash where one chases the other, and stems, which have forced dimensions inherited down the line, and then all you can do is make it steel. One of the drawbacks of working with NITTO is accepting their super-prudence in times like this. It's like, also, when our 66cm Wavie bars come in---we'll recommend them only with CrMo or other Nitto stems intended for mtn bikes. Some will mount them on Tallux (road) stems, but we will recommend something stronger. When NITTO hears "mountain bike riding" they imagine the worst and stupidest. Personally, I don't think at all that Crust is being IMprudent with the widies. It's a good company and they do neat, good things!
