I purchased a Kalloy dirt drop stem to experiment using drop bars on my Bianchi MTB. Works fine with dirt drop bars (these are Origin 8) w/ 25.4 stem clamp diameter. I will probably go Nitto both for stem and bars in the future but have no worries as to the stem not holding up on serious off road riding
