Nitto Riser Bar 26.0mm?
 
Any of you studs out there know of a Nitto riser bar that comes in a 26.0mm clamp size ... and where to get it? I have a Nitto Technomic Deluxe 26.0 that I wanted to pair with B201s, but I've only been able to find 25.4s so far... Any suggestions or reality checks helpful.

Just get the 25.4's and use a shim.

Nice mooseblend. That was fast. Seems as though others have answered the questions before - I guess I just wasn't searching for the right entries:

I only know of 25.4, that is all that Nitto offers me....so I guess there is no 26?

just shim it...

My risers are shim'd. Once you get the right amount of beer/soda can you are good to go!

or sell ur stem and get a 25.4 stem...

Go down to your local hardware store and get a nice piece of brass shim. You want something on the order of 0.01" thick.

I use a 3" sheet of foil and fold it down to the size of a shim. Make sure the the folds are creased tight though! This has worked for my 25.4mm-26.0 step up through sprints, skids and rain...

there's no reason to buy anything when a can ($0 presumably) works fine

again, just tighten them down it will be fine on 25.4 bars.
the only stem that has given me grief and would not clamp tight enough around a 25.4 bars was a salsa 26.0 stem.
and well of course 26.4 cinelli stems

Or you could just take the extra 5 seconds and do it right.

Sometimes it feels good to buck the cheap-ass approach to life.
