I'm going to pull out my profile Aerobars, and buy a new set of regular road handlebars. My stem is a 31.7 Ritchey WCS. That's the diameter the owner says. However most handlebar diameters are 31.8, for threadless. Deda makes a 31.7 but you have to buy their stem, they say.
I haven't bought any 31.8 handlebars out there, but, here's my question, can you put in a 31.8 handlebar into a 31.7 Ritchey WSC stem, 2003. Will the screws unloosen or open up in a 31.7 threadless stem to clamp down on a 31.8 handlebar. Even if you could do it, is it advisable to do it, given the 1 centimeter difference.
I went up to Ritchey logic, and the stems for the one I have are now 31.8. I honestly don't know if mine is 31.7 or 31.8, he said 31.7. Did Ritchey change in 2003-2004, to go to a 31.8 stem.
