those stems with that design tend to be able to flex a bit no? do the old "penny and bolt upside down" trick.

as i understand 26mm bars in 25.4mm stems on this sort of clamp design is even @mdcc_tester approved (tm) but as usual, i stand to be corrected.

A couple of Deda Piegas turned up today. 26.0mm clamp area, which revealed that my ITM Eclypse is quite obviously 25.4mm. Fuck. I'm now thinking about having the steerer extended and running a 1" Ahead stem instead...
