Wahoo mount for 26.0 handlebars?
Apologies if this has been explored already, but wasn't finding anything in the forum search. I'm trying to see if there are any good options for a Wahoo mount on handlebars with a 26.0 clamp. I could always figure out a shim, but would prefer something more elegant if it's out there. Thanks y'all!

I recently ordered a couple extra Wahoo mounts for my other bikes, and was amazed that the "out front" mount does not come with a rubber shim for a 26.0 handlebar. Really disappointing.
'Course, then the new Wahoo computer stopped taking a charge, so now it's all a moot point. |
Yeah, I know it's not the most common bar size anymore, but I thought they'd at least throw a shim in the box.

Have you tried looking at the K-Edge offerings?

I cut a piece of narrow inner tube so 18" long, wrap it around the HB, try the mount on it and just keep cutting an inch or two at a time until the fit is good.
I'm not just saying this. All my HBs are 25.4 or 26.0. Nevgr owned a 31.8. I've got an Element Bolt on my good bike right now. (This trick works for all oversized HB mounts. I just keep that length of tube with it's computer, light or what-have-you. For a neater look, you can cut the tube into a narrow strip just the width of the clamp. but that required more than twice the wraps. I used to do that but no longer. |

Post 5 above has some solutions as well as there are 3d party mounts with shims like this but may not be compatible with version 2 of the bolt, https://www.amazon.com/Wahoo-Elemnt-...01G35DLQ0?th=1 |
