That's very possible even though I was always very careful with tightening the stem bolts when putting the bars back in. Only problem is I have my steering tube cut specifically for that stem with no spacers underneath. Most sites I've seen don't display stem heights, is it going to be a pain finding one with equal or lesser height? Thanks for the reply.
