New things I noticed.
Prodigal Son:
That is lame. If you're going to make a stem specifically for those bars...
Spev:
The argument made that as bars have become larger/taller there is more leverage and therefore more chance of slipping. A 1" Ø clamp area has more surface area and would be less likely to slip. Obviously changing industry standards is a massive hurdle, it has been done before with steerer tubes. I guess time will tell.

I was really bummed that they didn't stay 1 inch.

Same. I dont have a problem with bars slipping, but I do have a sickness for the thickness.
montymitch:
Engineers correct me if I'm wrong, but to me the 1" clamp area seems like a great idea.I'm not terribly hard on my parts, but deformed clamp areas and slipping stems are something I still deal with. As bars get taller and more leverage is applied to the stem, going up to 1" just makes sense.
I had a pair of 1" Strip bars with the 1" grip tubes but the clamp area was the standard 7/8" which was odd. Diatech made some 1" brake levers--Tech 99 I believe, or you could run filed out Tech 77s.
