Hi, Bill.
I'm glad the folks at RBW are helping. I'm sure you'll stabilize the
bar unless the stem itself is problematic.
I use Albatross bars with a Dirt Drop 100 with a shim with mo
problems, even on torn-up roads and hoof-beaten trails. Maybe not as
bad as what you've got. But I weigh ~245. Ne
I spoke with Jay who consulted Mark at Riv.
Next logical step is blue loc-tight on the bar and shims. Gnurling
(gnarling?) or roughing up the point of contact was discussed, but is
better suited for shim-free situations. Stay tuned. If that doesn't

Albatrosses are 25.4?
