The thing that threw me most was this statement in the directions "Do not use mountain bike handlebars with a diameter of 25.4mm as they will NOT fit properly in this stem." I'm using 25.4mm road handlebars, and installed them into the stem, with no apparent issues (they're just not torqued down yet). A check of the same product on profile's website says the clamp diameter is 25.4mm:

Seems like they just sent the wrong directions, no? Any possible concerns here?

Next time avoid Jeff Bezos. Just go into your local shop and they can make sure things are going to work plus you are helping folks who enjoy cycling and want to keep it alive. Jeff Bezos and Amazon just want your money and could give two poopies about cycling or about you.
