Could always try a 25.4 clamp stem with the 26.0 diameter HBs - the muscle it takes to get that clamp onto the wider HBs is more than enough to keep it in place when riding.
A faceplater stem is never a bad idea either, since 2 or 4 bolts is more secure than 1. ~ NJD On Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at 12:45:45 PM UTC-6 Ethan VanValkenburg wrote: > I just put some swept back handlebars on my bicycle and I am having > trouble with slipping.
