Again thanks for any help!!
Unless the makers says different, 25mm with a 1" steerer amd 35mm with a 11/8", is the industry recommendation. The compession bung in the steerer tube supports the clamping force of the stem. You can't stack so many washers on top so as to cause the bung to be too high in the steerer to offer no support.
