I've got a cinelli quill stem, 26mm (maybe 26.4mm) and nitto br-021s, 26mm.
The bolt on the stem is missing, so I got a nut and bolt from work and fitted the bars. Now however tight I go, and even with a coke can(s) for a shim, I can still cause the bars to slip with a reasonable force, i.e. just leaning on them heavily.
Does it matter that I'm using an ad-hoc bolt/nut?
