My opinion, one should not need to resort to "extra torque" in order to get the bar to stay in place ! Proper torque is one thing, extra is not better !
If the bar is slipping from not being the proper diameter , ie some "defect" , if one uses a stem with a open face 2 or 4 bolt design, this issue is moot as these stems are not dependent on a perfectly fitting bar. Yes, I know many are attached to their traditional stems, but it is an option. I for one was a "traditionalist", but got over that and love using stems with open faces. I've used my Albatross bars with a 26.0 stem and zero issues for years. Like the Bosco, these can produce a lot of leverage. Or, try shimming your current stem with some aluminium can shims. So, if your bars are slipping, don't just excuse a possible defect in the bar and rationalise it by thinking your making it slip. Proper bar and stem fits do not slip. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
