AgitatedBarracuda134 on December 10, 2024 3:00 pm I think it’s a shim that fits in your brake lever clamp

Does it fit nicely inside the stem? Does your original handlebar fit and clamp well without the shim?
Sirwompus on December 10, 2024 3:00 pm It’s a shim that let’s a thinner bar get held by a thicker stem. There should be two of them. PS I like your old bars better

isn’t it a shim for stem/handlebar clamping area?

i think it’s a shim used for bars smaller than 31.8
