twisting handlebar with aero bar
I have clip on aero bars on my handlebar and I can't get the stem clamp
on the handlebar tight enough to maintain the position of the handlebar. Normally, the handlebar stays in position but when I'm riding on the aero bars (which is the norm) and I hit a bump, I hear a little click noise and the handlebar rotates downward which puts my aero bar out of position (tilted down). I've tried re-positioning the handlebar and re-tightening as tight as I can but the handlebar continues to rotate when I hit a bump. So I'm forced to conclude that there is not enough friction between the stem clamp and the handlebar. I've considered that maybe I need to remove the stem clamp (it's threadless and easy to do) and sandpaper the clamp to roughen it. Or perhaps I could insert double-sided sandpaper to give some grip. Anybody else have this problem and any suggested solutions? Denis |

Are you sure the stem clamp is intended for the diameter bars you are
using? The stem clamp is the right size. It fits snug and I've been using the same stem, handlebar, and aero bars for several years. This is the first year I've had problems with the handlebar rotating on me. Denis |
