would it be bad to use them with 25.4 bars? do you think its fine to have them listed as 26.0? would they work with 26.0 bars? i dont really have any spare bars around to test...

noone has bidded yet...i could easily revise the listing tho.
ill answer my own question from sheldon brownizzle:
"26.0 mm is the Italian national standard. Because Italian handlebar and stem brands are so popular, even many bars from other countries have adopted this size, and many people consider it to be a de facto "road" standard. Most expensive drop bars and stems are this size, or the slightly smaller 25.8 mm variant (those are interchangeable.)"
