I don't suppose any knows where I can get a pair of circular aluminium shims made for my push bike? I think I need to get from a 22mm OD handlebar up to either a 26mm or 31.8mm ID clamp.

And before you all start laughing - I find cycling the best fitness routine to keep the metal hip working nicely ;)

This is going to sound strange, but try Ebay. There are sellers selling metal and aluminium offcuts and they will cut them to the dimensions you need. When I had to shim up my clip-ons to fit the smaller Ohlins forks, a seller on Ebay made me shims to the exact dimensions i needed.

Smashing - thanks.

Treetops tell me exactly what you want I'll make you some.

Viffer - even better mate. I'm looking for a pair of shims to convert a pair of push bike tri-bars designed for a 31.8mm handlebar to a 22mm OD handlebar. I'll take the measurements this evening. I'd guess you'd need the the OD for my current bars, the OD of the bars that the clamps are supposed to fit, the width of the shims, and the handlebar material ?

Do me a sketch, I'll pm my firms fax number. Send it there f a o Peter wiff your address etc and thy will shall be done.

Got the fax, I'll post 'em tomorrow.

Cheers mate - sent you a PM before I read the forums :)

have you received 'em yet?

Viffer - cheers mate, got back in from a long weekend away and they were sitting there waiting for me. Spot on mate - I can get back on mmy push bike now :)
