i have a new threadless stem on a new set of wheels. with the correct sized handlebar, the stem
clamp bottoms out onto the main stem body around the time it is getting tight. consequently,
even when the clamp bolts are torqued as hard as is appropriate, i can rotate the bars with a
strong shove.
i put sandpaper in the clamp, a trick that sheldon advised for aerobars a while back, and they are
fine now. the sandpaper gave me a little clearance, and simultaneously more friction.
however, i wouldnt mind doing the job right. could i just take a little material off the main stem
body? i was thinking of a little filing, sanding, and rounding off the corners.
doesn't seem drastic to me. what about you?
cheers, anthony
