Yeah a smaller bag would be nice.
But how is there less risk of slippage clamping the stem vs reattaching the bars to the stem?
As a side-note when I briefly tried to remove my fork once, it didn't just drop out (Tarmac SL4, stock fork). I guess I could mallet it out but didn't want to try.. too lazy. At any rate I've already picked my bag so it doesn't matter too much for me, just curious about that.
