Only ever ran old style 26mm's looking at some new ones at the mo'
worth going up to 31.8's? Anyone notice the difference?

I switched to OS bars when I built my bike. Means my lights can now be swapped without changing clamps and can switch stems and bars between bikes when / if I want to. They also feel like they twist less when hammering in the drops

I went oversized so that stems inky spares box can be used on road or mountainbikes.
