I bought a stem a few months ago but the bars were stuck on it so I brought the whole thing home. After a lot of effort I managed to remove the screws and separate the two.
These (alloy) bars have since then just been laying around and I'd like to put them to use. The thing is they were so tightened at the stem that it left these marks on them and I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. Would you guys say it's safe to ride?
