I've found the [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=25136 ]Straitline shims[/url] for fitting 25.4mm bars into an oversize stem. The description says for Straitline stems, is there any reason I can't use them for other stem/bar combinations?

Probably not , at a guess the shims fit the Straitline stems flush and look a bit prettier.

Should be o.k. as long as your stem face-plate and neck has straight edges so it fits snug with the flanges on the shims. Wouldn't do it if stem has a curved face-plate / neck.

Are there any other options out there? I'd be looking to fit 25.4 Raceface Deus bars to a Thomson Elite x4 stem until I need new bars.
