NITTO sez the wider bars mean the stem wll brake first, and they'd rather the bar breaks first. We asked. We lead the way w ith 46cm, then 48cm. We asked for (and got a prototype of) a 51cm, but that turned out to be a stem-braker. It's cool that other makers do it, but we're sticking with ultra-conservative NITTO. THere is probably a combo that "works"--31.8 clamp? CrMo stem? But we're not gonna be the ones to beg NITTO to lower its standards, and please, no need to turn that around and say Grant says the wider bars are dangerous or irresponsible. That's not what's going on, I'm just saying why NItto, at this point, won't. THanks. G
