I was able to secure my computer mount on my new gravel bike by adding a layer of rubber tape between the bars and the mount clamp. It seems to be holding. Will see after a few rides if it slides down towards the drops or not.
I wish there was conical insert made with a stopper that can be put on whichever side of the stem and provide constant diameter tube. Most of the clamps that come with lights/computers/etc already look hideous. I am trying to solve this problem without adding whole new bumper to the bike as much as I understand it might be functional.
Then the super sleek solutions are very specific e.g. garmin & gopro mount that's it ... I would like eg 2 gopro mounts for 2 lights both of which come with that "universal" mount.
If the adapter goes for $50 ... well given my aluminium bars I might look for some with non-conical shape but I have not seen any ... regular aluminium kind ... with that shape.
