The no cost method of making this bar and stem combination work is find a standard Coca Cola can and cut 5 shims 33 mm wide X 78 mm long, stack them and inset them between the bar and stem clamp.

Math...
33 mm is the width of my Cinelli 1A clamp
The circumference of 25.4 mm is 79.8 mm (we subtract 1.8 mm so the shims dont butt when compressed = 78 mm).
The gap your trying to fill is 1 mm total = 0.5 mm for 1/2 diameter, = 5 layers of 0.1 mm shim.

Technique...
Use a wedge to slightly spread the Cinelli clamp co you can easily install the shim pack and get everything positioned correctly.

Materials...
The thickness of a Coca Cola can is 0.1 mm

Tools.
Scissors.
Small smooth prying tool.

Cost: $ 0.00
