Rubber Strips for Handlebar Mounts?
Ron Hardin
handlebar mounts to make them fit and not slip?
I realize I could cut up an inner tube... but a nice
package would be handy for the shelf.

Rubber mounted handlebars?
Compatible stem and bars in good condition should fit and not slip.
If you have to shim it for whatever reason, I think I'd try something
like aluminum.

The inner tubes I buy come in a box. Aluminum beer can sits nicely on
a shelf. How often are you going to be mounting misfit handlebars
that you need a handy box of shims?

He's talking about mounting things on a handlebar, not mounting the
handlebar itself.
I rarely run short of the little strips that come with light brackets,
but if I wanted a modest quantity of some particular thickness of
rubber sheet, I'd probably get it at McMaster.com. I have gotten
adhesive-backed rubber sheet in one foot square quantity there
before.

Go to the local dime store, buy a Chinese bicycle light for two or
three bucks, choose the one with the most fitting strips. I used to
cut up the plastic tops that snap onto Pringles crisp tubes... -- AJ

You can order rubber strips in a variety of widths and thicknesses from
McMaster.

Instead of rubber, you could also use leather from cutting up
old wallets, shoes, etc.

I saw rectangular sheets of rubber at the Japanese dollar store (Daiso)
yesterday. But you'd have to cut them to whatever length and width you
needed.
You might also consider using heat shrink tubing, but you'd have to take
off levers and grips to get it on.

I bought a 55" long x 3/4" wide x about 3/32" thick rubber strip for
$1.50 at Daiso, the Japanese $1.50 store near me. It's clearly from a
tire tube because I see "Bridgestone 28 X 8 A/815-R15" printed on it. It
would be good for a bunch of handlebar mount strips, though it looks a
little thicker than what usually comes with handlebar mount accessories.
