Also because the clamp is asymmetrical, so the top bolts have no gap

Oh good, thanks for clarifying.BigBoyND wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 7:05 amThere's no issue and it's not damage as long as you dont torque beyond spec. It's also mostly bar dependent (softness of the coatings). A soft coat will leave marks but it isn't the carbon.MarkoP wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 10:36 pmIs that issue with damaging the bars still happening? I ordered an Uno from Fair Wheel and I'm worried to install it on my new Roval bar. This is the stem I bought - https://www.fairwheelbikes.com/fair-whe ... -stem.html

I have a question regarding the obligatory Titanium bolts for the two-piece bar clamps on the new version of the stem. The issue is that the M5 steel bolts which come with the stem have a fairly small diameter head at 7,9 mm. The smallest Ti bolts I have are 8,5 mm.
Anything above 8,0 mm would be a safety issue IMHO as the bolt, or rather the washer, would damage the clamp when tightened.
Has anybody found fitting bolts on Ali E.?

I have a couple Kalloy Uno AP's 7050 from ebay new ($15-30)LanceLegstrong wrote: ↑Sun Feb 20, 2022 11:32 pmAre these legit Kalloy Uno's? $20 is hard to beat but I'd rather not die when trying to sprint (85kg).

legit stems
I wouldn't pay $50+ for one. That's quite a bit of markup.

No but I have ground down the heads titainium of bolts down to fit. If you put the bolt in a drill and rotate them while holding the bolt head against a grinding wheel you can quickly get them down to size.PhilippCX wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 1:32 pmI have a question regarding the obligatory Titanium bolts for the two-piece bar clamps on the new version of the stem.

Thanks for the reply. Since I haven't been able to find anything below 8.5 on Ali E. that might be my only option...mikemelbrooks wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2024 5:34 pmNo but I have ground down the heads titainium of bolts down to fit.

Instead of using Ali for safety critical components just pay a couple $ more and get them from proper sources which do their own QC and have a reliable supply chain. I bought mine from ProBolt when I had the Uno stem.

Thanks for the reply. Your are absolutely right, in hindsight I have no idea why I asked for Ali E. in particular. I am just looking for bolts that fit in general.
I never head of ProBolt before but they surely seem legit.
Pro bolt is very big in motorcycles, used in all levels of racing.PhilippCX wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2024 9:03 pmThanks for the reply. Your are absolutely right, in hindsight I have no idea why I asked for Ali E. in particular. I am just looking for bolts that fit in general.

I would recommend them.
