Fairly sure I'm going to sound like a clueless idiot, but I'm a little bit confused about stems and bars.
I've been thinking of buying a new frame and fork, with a 1" threadless fork, and after a fair bit of confusion about which stems will fit it, I'm now confused about stem clamps and which bars will fit which clamps.
After looking about on Planet X for a while, I'm confused as to why they have so few 25.4mm stems when it seems to be such a common size for bars, but they have plenty of 26mm stems and no 26mm bars, or will you be able to run a 25.4mm bar on a 26mm stem and that 0.6mm make no difference.
Tl;dr, clamp sizes make no sense to me.
