Shit. Just realised I made a very stupid mistake. My new handlebars just arrived, Nitto RB-021s, (26mm) started fitting them onto my Langster Steel (25.4 clamp). Just got them into place and thought the fit was surprisingly tight, went to get some grease, and just realised they .6mm to big for my stem...What's my best course of action?
I must have thought my stem was 26mm and the bars were 25.4, I'd even bought a shim to make up the difference, only just realised I was thinking the wrong way round. Anything I can do? Will these bars go on the stem, or will they damage it?
