Not to pile on here, but reaming out the clamp area of this stem (or
really, of any stem) sounds like a Very Unwise Idea. If you compare the
thickness of the handlebar clamps of a 26.0 Nitto stem and a 25.4 Nitto
stem, you'll see that the metal is the same thickness. You think maybe

This might be a long shot but I am checking to see if they have a Sugino PC
crank they are looking to get rid of. Preferably 165 but 170 would be OK as
well.

Just a plug for the wonderful site https://whatbars.com/ that lets you pick
different handlebars and overlay them in a way that makes it really easy to
compare width and reach and everything. It has the Albatross and Bosco,
which is close enough to Tosco to see how different they are.

I appreciate the confirmation that Albatross has less reach than my Tosco.
I thought that was the case but wanted to be sure before I ordered one.

Possibly dumb question: have you taken a good look at your chain? It ay be
kinked, which would cause skipping gears.

I may try bars with less reach than my Tosco bars to do just what you're

The Roadini is worth some consideration. Many people finish PBP on carbon
fiber racing bikes, so you could definitely do it with a Roadini and have a
much more comfortable and pleasant ride. The Roadini is probably better
(for me) than the Roadeo because it accommodates wider tires. If I were
Hi Garth,This is for my Platy. The bars are good and everything fits so well, but I just feel like sitting back a little bit. The tall Nitto stem I have is the longest stem they make, so I can’t fix that. The regular Nittos don’t allow for as high of a bar, and I love where my bars sit. I don’t

What is the reach on the brakes? Are they Dia Compe 750s or similar size?

Whoa! What is that stem and how did it work out for you? Do you have long
legs/short torso and needed a tall bike with less reach? Any odd handling
impacts from the lack of any stem extension?
Beautiful frame, too.

Clark - congrats on a well ridden race and a fun new experience. The San

common Volpe. I have a Volpe setup with a flip flop hub and Albatross bars.
If you have a photo, I'd be interested in seeing your San Jose.

I’m a bit of on outlier, but I completed PBP in 2007 on my Quickbeam, which was
set up at the time as a fixed gear (since converted to a three-speed IGH). The

and wide-ish tires.

Same as Eric Norris, I say I've never owned a Ram. There are a few young

I totally agree. Most people on RIv's are already on a large frame size for
them (based on Riv's sizing standards) so it seems that going further back
on a large frame with a slack geometry would be the opposite of what would
be needed. That's why Analog started selling zero setback seatposts.
Personally, I would just buy the correct stem.
If you do want to modify the stem you already have, I would use a brake
cylinder hone, generally available at local auto parts stores, Open it up
as little as possible, leave as much metal as possible. You can also use a
stem spreader (or snap ring

I'd use an adjustable reamer to ream the stem from 25.4 to 26.0. I did this
back in the 1980s when I wanted to use 26.4 Cinelli bars in a Nitto
Technomic stem. The adjustable reamer I have for seat tubes has enough
adjustment (down to 23.75) to be used for stems as well.

Leah, Why is it you believe you need more setback in the first place ?
Compared to the Betty you had with it's 72 degree seat tube angle, the
