Hi Thomas,I used a 58cm aluminum Bosco with Nitto shims on a Nitto Lugged stem
on my Bombadil and never had any slipping issues, even in (not crazy) off-road
use.cheers,Andrew in Sydney

Hi, all.
I saw something somewhere on the mighty webbernet that suggested that it was a
bad idea to use a stem-with-a-shim with a Bosco bar. I recall no explanation
being given. I can easily imagine, though, that the leverage of the Bosco'
might problematically encourage undesirable rotation. Or perhaps there's some
other problem I'm not seeing.
Anyway, does anyone have any experience with a Bosco mounted via a shimmed stem?
I'm contemplating using a Bosco (or something like it) with a Nitto lugged
stem. As far as I know, there is no 25.4mm Nitto lugged stem and there is no
26.0mm Bosco bar.
