I had been having heart palpitations about getting my new set of 26.0mm x 420mm Nitto M109AA (in scratch sensitive black) into my 3ttt Status stem.
Turns out it was utterly unfounded. I spread the clamp with a coin and the bolt and the bars popped in with no more than a very slight bit of wiggling at one point on the bend (resulting in an insignificant scuff on the finish just above where the lever clamps will go).
Unless my stem later decides to spontaneously erupt following the stress of being spread I'd call it an extremely stress free affair!
