Does this look right?

FIL S:

 I bought a new stem and bars from Alans on wednesday. I fitted them earlier and there seems to be quite a gap between the 2 parts of the stem when tightened around the bars.

 The stem is an S&M XLT and the bars are S&M 5.75 Inch race bars. The stem isn't the race model but i would'nt think there would be any difference in the diameter of race bars and freestyle bars. I stand to be corrected but do you think it would be ok to ride/race with the gap shown below or should the 2 halfs be together?

 Cheers, Phil.

its ok mate

FIL S:

 Thanks for that lads.

 V, the bolts are as tight as i dare without running the risk of stripping them.

 Snav, every other stem i've had has always had the 2 parts butted up together.

 cheers for putting my mind at rest  :)
