Handlebars
I want to have a custom handlebar made. Aluminum tubing comes in 1" diameter (25.4mm), but the clamp band range for my Shimano Ultegra's (STI) are 23.8-24.2mm. Does anyone know if the clamp band can be stretched to fit over the 25.4mm tube?

no, not really.
you can always make your custom clamp band.
if you use 25.4mm where you grab the bars, it's going to be REALLY fat once you get the bartape on it.

A friend of mine makes custom aluminum handlebars, but they're aimed at the recumbent market: https://www.terracycle.com/Merchant2/...ategory_Code=H
