Nashville Aerobars are a steal for that price.
Compared to RB-021s, Aerobars have a little less drop, more room on the tops (comfier), and the same reach. The RB-021s are stiffer, but I don't notice a difference while I'm riding.
I prefer the Aerobars to my RB-021s.

Your cog is slipping.
You've got it backward. His stem clamp is smaller than the bars.
Chances are, your clamp isn't a precise 25.4mm and those bars aren't a precise 26 anyway. You won't die.

Phew TheJauntyGent, Im glad they're not junk, it was a spur buy as I have drops already. You quelled my fears of getting a crappy bar! Can't wait to change it up.

The drop bars on my roadie are 38's, so I also wanted to get these Nashbar 'horns in 38, but I took the 40's on sale. No problem with the fitment -- it doesn't feel too wide.

alright. i gave in and bought it. 40cm.. 
well i'm worried coz i have narrow shoulders so i can do 36 / 38cm pretty comfortably. Which is why 40cm is on the wide side. But we'll see
for $13 (with the 10% extra) it's worth trying..

In my experience, wider is usually not too much to worry about; it's the other way around that you should look out for. Wider bars give you more leverage and more room to breathe(supposedly). If you don't like them, just throw them onto CL or eBay.

i thought it's suppose to be shoulder width? And more leverage makes more sense on mtbs. Anywhooo, we'll see how it works out
on another note,
Vredestine Fortezza tires are on sale at Ben's, 33% off @ $29.99
i love these tires..
EDIT: bah!! they sold out! i was 5min too late!

I'm willing to sell my Rb-021's for $30 shipped if anyone wants them. They have some bar tape on them, but it was just leftover scrap tape that isn't wrapped evenly. I can take it off or leave it on.

Anyone interested in cheap RB-021s should keep an eye on wheel & sprockets ebay shop. I think it's been twice now they've had them on sale for $24.99 free shipping.
