Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

2.1cm or mm? I assume cm, but I'm still a bit confused.

Standard mtn handlebars are 7/8" (22.2mm) in diameter at the working ends, regardless of material. All grips and bar ends are sized for that, otherwise we'd all go nuts dealing with compatibility in grips, bar ends, and whatnot. Check your measurement again. It's also possible that your end wont clamp tight because you have a thin walled bar, which needs an internal support to keep it from shrinking a bit when clamped.
