cinelli stem clamp diameter.....
What would happen if I combined a 26.0 bar with a cinelli stem that is 26.4?

Buy a vintage Cinelli bar, or a non-Cinelli vintage Italian stem. You can likely sell the one you've got for about the same amount you'll pay for a good one. As long as you haven't wrecked it.

yep, doesn't work.
i tried it years ago when 26mm bars started becoming more ubiquitous.
0.4mm doesn't sound like much, but it is

You can get a 0.2mm shim that'll allow you to use that combination. Make sure the shim has a rough knurled finish to grip well on both sides.

Cinelli also made 26.0 stems for users of non-Cinelli handlebars. These are often available on Ebay,.
