I have an Easton EC90 carbon bar with a Ritchey WCS Stem. Did anyone every get flaking(i.e. chipping, wearing) off of the clear coat where the handlebar meets the stem?

Tomcbiker, I have the same bar mated with a EC70 stem with no clearcoat issues, although my EC90 seapost lost a good portion of the clearcoat even after going to extreme measures to clean the seat tube. As riphraf says it's only cosmetic and shouldn't cause you any problems. Don't worry, but please make sure you don't over tourque the clamp, I learned that lesson the expensive way!
