Oops. I had read that but forgot. Sorry.

I have one bike with the 31.8 mm bars. I first tried the smaller diameter clamp levers, but that put the brake levers too far apart for my tastes. Got the 31.8 clamp levers and have them as far apart as I can put them without mounting them on the taper which I am sure would be a disaster. In the photo the clamp for the brake levers is under my computer on the right and under the bell on the left. You can see a sliver of silver color between the black tape and black brake clamps.
