Just found this on the garage floor - likely been there months

Looks "important" so which part of a bike is about to kill me ?

it's thin rubber, slightly curved profile and small - that's lined paper it's sitting on

Any ideas?

Possibly off a bike light?

Must be a cover/blanking plate for a charging port or something...?

Looks like it fits over frame for when adding a pump to cage

I’ve got very similar bits knocking around - mine are from various polar cycle computer/HRM and are basically anti-slip patches for when I fit the cadence sensor, handlebar mount, speed sensor. Could it be this?

Have you got di2? Looks like the bit that sits in the back of the junction a box when it bands onto the stem. If not then it looks like the backing for a light or bike computer

Is it anything to do with where the gear cable goes underneath the bottom bracket - asymmetric due to the cable for the front mech?

Looks like the rubber mount for a sensor that goes on a fork, came with wired cateye computers.

Spacer for a front mech in my opinion

Thin Joebristol is right. I've fitted Di2 3 times now and every time that dam bit of rubber is the bit that annoys me the most as the thing slips out when trying to pull O rings around a stem.

Thanks all

I do have a Di2 - will look at that but as long as it's not a requirement for waterproofing then it can foff
(don't think it's a spacer - is very soft & flexy)
