[#3013512]

have recently bought a lovely new charge duster mid bike.the problem is,that it has the smaller diameter bars (were 31.8 on the anthem).the mount is way too big for the new bars.have tried using some rubber pieces that were in the hope box (but they are way too thin.am thinking about using a piece of cloth (wrapping it round the bar).sorry to be such a numpty.thanks in advance 🙂

Try a Hope dealer, they can order the correct rubber spacers for your bars, maybe even borrow them from a stock set of lights to save you waiting.

Just neatly wrap electrical tape round the bars.

My original hope lights came with a set of aluminium spacers for exactly that purpose. Pretty sure I still have them.

Drop a mail to my username at gmail and I can stick them in the post if I can find them

Mine from about 2 years ago came with 2 sets of rubber inserts for the mount, just a case of swapping them depending on which bars I'm using.

wrap a bit of old inner tube round the bars and clamp onto that....

hope stem with face plate works a treat.Bit more expensive that insulation tape though.
