Deda stem + non-Deda bars

So Deda appears to have their own 'standard' for OS bars...31.7mm?

Any issues using a Deda stem with 31.8mm bars from another mfg? I can see
where the reverse might be an issue (31.7 bars in a 31.8 stem).

Thanks for any input.

None, just put it on...nor the reverse.

Not, just ensure the bolts are torqued and the flats of the faceplate
aren't touching.

That's less difference than the so called 'standard' size which is
25.8 or 26.0 depending on which manufacturer you ask. The real size is
1.25", which is 31.75mm. Deda round down and everybody else rounds up.
If you actually measure bars and stems to that degree of accuracy,
you'll probably find not only the overall tolerance exceeds 0.05mm,
but the variation from a true circle in an individual item is more
than this on some clamps.
