I recently upgraded my handlebar to a Ritchey WCS 31.8mm. All is fine
with that; I love the bar. The problem is mounting my computer near
the stem where it wont get in the way. The mount is too small to fit
around the larger diameter bar.

Any suggestions? I am considering just using electricians tape, but
that is a bit crude.

Minoura have a Space Bar that fits on the stem as well as the bar.

Contact your computer manufacturer. Many now have OS mounts; some can be
retrofitted to older computers.

There are several versions of the Space Bar. I have one from Nashbar and it's
very-very good. Minoura's web page doesn't mention it so it must be an older
model even though I just got it last month. I also have one of the new
models, both in the 130 mm version. It looks very nice but have not tried it
yet. My 2nd bike is still in the shop.

Best regards, Paul

Replace the screw with a longer screw, or a zip tie. A little gap
between the ends of the band is fine.
