Uno also makes both sizes. Which Nitto handlebar do you have?
Most road "drop" handlebars are 26.0mm, while most "flat" handlebars
(MTB or "upright" road bars) are 25.4mm. Once exception are the
"Moustache" handlebars, which I've seen in both diameters. I'd consider
it to be an "upright" handlebar, but it's built for "drop" handlebar
parts: brake levers and bar-end shifters. "Drop" brake levers won't fit
an "upright" handlebar: the clamp's usually too big, and bar-ends won't
fit most "upright" handlebars: the inside diameter is too small.
