I know it sounds basic, but you’re sure the bars and stem are the same size? It’s hard to tell by looking at them.
With long bars like the Albas, you’re applying a lot of torque on the stem/bar connection, so it’s going to be a little harder than usual to keep them from rotating. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Dec 28, 2018, at 9:52 AM, Sean B. <seancbow...@gmail.com> wrote: > > The bars rotate down within the stem when weight is applied to the bars. > "Hammering" down on the bolt = over-tightening the clamp. > > On Friday, December 28, 2018 at 11:49:42 AM UTC-6, Eric Norris wrote: > Sean: > > What’s slipping?
