You folks do measure IDs of stem clamp sections and ODs of bar center sections BEFORE you start attempting to fit the stem onto the bars?? Just curious........as some "combinations" are never going to work. I cannot begin to count the number of mangled bars I have seen in the past 36 years (even some from bike shop builds!!!). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......
