    I’ve a GoPro handle bar bracket in 31.8 size but would like to stick it on an old skinny size bar. I ‘d like to buy a decent shim for the bracket rather than bodge it. I couldn’t find anything decent, can anyone help?

    skinny as in 25.4mm or the bar itself at 22mm?

    It’ll be the 25.4 standard old school size

    I think they do gopro mounts in other sizes, now only 31mm.

    However if you go the shim route, a handlebar shim may work, they allow you to use a 25mm bar in a 31mm stem for example.

    Problem Solvers make handlebar shims. I don’t know if the have a UK distributor; they’re part of QBP so are available through most US bike shops.

    wrap a bit of old inner tube round the bar ? Adjustable, grippy, very reasonably priced and available right now

    sjs cycles on EBay usually do this kind of thing…
    Failing that, just search EBay.
