Wanted USE handlebar shim

[SantasLoneCruzer]

Before looking on tinternet for generic shims, putting out the feelers to see if anyone has a genuine USE bar shim? So 22.2 to 25.4mm shim - correct me if I’m wrong on any of this.
Thanks,
Santa

I've been searching the internet for such an item, no luck so far. If two should turn up, I'm also keen.

So I am correct in thinking that USE bars did have USE shims as opposed to people just buying aftermarket ones? I’m doubting myself unless anyone says otherwise…

I've got two USE bars. One has a shim fitted, which is quite wide and the other has no shim, which I didn't spot when buying I would have thought they came with them, as I'm not sure many (any?) mtb had a 22.2 stem fitment - that was more BMX I think?

As I thought. Anyone who has a bar and original shim, can they post a pic so I know what I’m looking for

I'll dig mine out when I get a moment @SantasLoneCruzer and let you know

Yes, early bars came with two piece shim and later bars with a fitted shim.

These must be the later version then, received them in ‘95/‘96 I think.


Might use them on an upcoming build.
