does anyone know if the polar HRM bike mount fits on over-sized (31.8mm) handlebars?
i've search with google for an answer, but found nothing definitive.
thanks in advance.

Here is another way to take care of it
G'day,
I have Cinelli 'neo' oversized handlebars. I'm not sure of the diameter where the HRM bike mount fits, (the Neo's taper out from the stem),but I didn't have any difficulty fitting mine. Probably just don't use as much of the plastic 'tie'.,
cheers,
Hitchy

Yep, mine fits just fine with a little ribber shim (included) on the opposite side of the stem where it slopes down, two zip ties and Bam!
No need to crank it down either, I keep mine a little lose.

I've got the FSA Wing Pro that has the oversized flat tops : http://www.lickbike.com/productpage.asp?PART_NUM_SUB='1113-40'
The Polar Bike Mount fits on the bar right next to the stem with no problem.
