after looking at some stuff on the internet about the parts i've been using, and i realized that for some time now ive been using a 25.4mm bar with a stem that has a 26mm clamp. ive never had any problems with it, theres no play, and it seems to fit pretty well. does the 0.6mm difference matter all that much?

anybody have any comments about this? anybody besides me ever done it?

does anyone know of any MTB bars that are 26mm? ive looked for some but no luck...lots of oversized bars, but none are 26mm.
