Thanks will look forward to your newer Lezyne Super GPS design, in addition I again do not have a solution for different size handlebars.

24 & 26 classic drop bars for barfly and garmin GPS mounts never seem to stay on securely wrapping a section of inner tube, or other rubber mounts on the handlebar they just do not stay fitted properly. (original rubber or plastic shims supplied seem to work for about a year, in Vegas after that it becomes a hack and seldom looks tidy)

Easily purchased Barfly or other inexpensive ebay GPS forward GPS mounts are for 31.8 circumferences and I wish there were narrow solid shims that were readily available to upgrade the classic 24 & 26 bicycle handlebars to 31.8 size that would last longer, or not disappear. Maybe I am blind but have not found a reliable source for handlebar shims, do you make them or can you make a referral to solve this common fitting problem of using a forward GPS mount on a classic 10 speed style bicycle size handlebars.

These are not needed for a restored bicycle collection, but quite often needed for older classics or less expensive MTB that are still ridden often.
