I had a bike with 10" risers w/o a single piece top bar clamp. What happens is the risers can get twisted on the bars. Simply snug both he risers to the top tree and the bolts the clamp the bars. Make sure everything is straight crank your bars down then your risers to the top tree.

Note when tightening the bolts from the tree to the riser you can get a twist again. Do the old pedal bike trick with the front wheel between your legs and bring it back. If you have a continued problem with this you might want to go to a 1 piece upper bar clamp.
