Go for it
due ruote,
Grand Bois is spot on with the Nitto stems working beautifully. The underside of the clamping area has to have the relief cuts that the Nitto Dirt Drop stem has, without those relief cuts it's hard to make the bends without marking up your bars. I've run Midge bars with a Nitto Dirt Drop stem on a couple bikes with no issues. On my Cimarron I'm running a Dirt Drop stem with a SOMA Sparrow bar, the Sparrow bar has much tighter bends than the Midge, I had zero issues with the install. Here's a shot of the Sparrow bars with the Dirt Drop stem.
