Can you use a non-Deda Newton standard (31.7) bar with a Deda Elementi stem? The specs on the stem seem to make a point that the stem will work with a 31.7 bar but I've noticed most bars are 31.8... does that .1 make that much of a difference?

Not that much a difference.

not a problem...

i run a thomson x4 stem with my deda bars...haven't budged since they've been mounted.

It's all in the way Deda rounds off the actual measurement. For all practical purposes, 31.8 and 31.7 bars/stems are interchangeable.

The std. is actually 31.75. Deda rounds down...everyone else rounds up...

It's 1.25 inches which = 1.25 x 25.4 mm = 31.75 mm.

It'll be fine - a good match.
