Also the shims are typically fairly wide, wider than stem clamps of course. Accessory clamps are often much narrower so you can cut just the width you need from the shim and do multiple clamps from a single shim. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

I'd recommend you get the right shims. They are almost 3mm thick. If they are of a material that is compressible at all, thick shims compress too much. You won't get your thing tight. You need metal shims or an exact substitute for metal shims. I see Velo Orange sells a set of 4 for $7.

Garth, thanks for the reply, its simpler than i'm describing, the mounts i want to use are all sized for 31.8mm handlebars and i want to use them on 26mm handlebars. i could just wrap tape around my bar to fill the gap, or buy a shim that takes my 26->31.8, but looking to do this for a number

I'm not quite picturing what you need. The Nitto Lamp Holder 2 mounts to 26.0 bars and has a 22.2 extension bar. If your camera has a tripod mount there's this : https://www.amazon.com/Minoura-Handlebar-Camera-Mount-22-29mm/dp/B005DMYRRC or the diy
