I have been 30+ years on single bolt bar clamped stems with few problems.
Looking at new bikes with stems and see 4 bar clamp bolt stems and two bolt clamp with specs on clamping the bolts.
After checking my bike shop over, I see the two bolt bar clamping stems are in my size.
Now with the 2 and 4 bolt systems I feel the need to blue loctight those smaller shorter bolts to feel safe.
