Hi, this is my 1st post! I have Oversized Handlebars and a new fork Marzocchi Corsa SL RC (2011) and i was fitting the remote lockout to the handlebars but its a fixed diameter and won't fit!!!. Why? I have Ergon Grips (specific for twist grips) + Sram X.0 twisters + Formula R1 brakes... this takes up a fixed length that cannot be adjusted!!! so when i went to install remote fitting i couldn't, they started to encroach where the bars progress to 31.8 and the diameter of the fitment is toooo small. Contacted Windwave but they had no solution other than to buy wider bars!!! has anyone else encountered this or has a cunning plan on how i can fix it? many thanks

    Or if possible ditch the remote. They are pretty pointless anyway.

    Seconded, some 31.8's hold the 22mm control diameter for much further than others, Ritchey are quite good for that.
