Can bend .064 - 6061 AL sheet metal piece around 22.3mm handlebar for
shim anchored w/JB Weld?
This is the perfect size for 22.3 to 26mm handlebar shim conversion,
but did not know if AL rectangles would splinter up on .064 - 6061 AL
sheet metal: if 22.3mm is NOT too tight a diameter for .064 - 6061 AL
to bend around slowly anchored by JB Weld.
An easier $40 + JB Weld alternative is to get 22.3/25.4mm shims and
25.4/26mm shims and JB Weld to bar which does not sound the best, but
workable if 22.3mm is too tight a diameter for .064 - 6061 AL to bend
around slowly anchored by JB Weld.
Another alternative would be to get thinneer AL Crimped seperator
sheets and wrap with JB Weld in between, which is a widely variable and
undeterminable result due to many layers of JB Weld but still may work.
It would be harder work, constant measurement, a more exact fit, and
possible scrapped bars.
Before I go and get threadless stem converter, adjustable stem, and new
bars, I'd like to experience what is already equipped with to make
reasonable comparisons later. It may be perfect with stock oem bars and
current threaded stem, so would like to make the current handlebars fit
my aerobars firmly: for more force in new grip pressure forward of
handlebar axis - greater control and flexible ergonomic body
positioning with aerobars.
A new threadless stem converter, adjustable stem, and new bars would be
opening up a new can of worms in unknown fit variables, without
knowing if I even need that headache now.
Thank You!
