    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.

    thanks cheers Jack

    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.
