Garmin handlebar mount for 26.0 handlebars

Any recommendations for an out front-style Garmin mount for a large computer that would fit on 26.0 diameter handlebars? I currently mount my Karoo2 on my 31.8 bar with a K-edge Max XL mount. K-edge doesn’t make a mount for a smaller diameter bar, and says using shims would void the warranty.

I’m not sure what warranty issues would arise with a clamp, so I am leaning towards getting some rubber mat to use as spacers. But 5mm is a fair bit to make up, so thought I’d see if there were some solutions available.

Plenty of knock-off mounts that come with shims. I'm pretty certain the OEM Wahoo mounts come with a shim.

The standard Garmin mount includes adequate shims and is perfectly decent.

I second this. The shim is a custom molded one that looks nice all considered.

I've used a wrap of bar tape with a K Edge mount to go from 31.8 to 22.2

Self vulcanizing silicone tape is a solution as well. I needed to do this one some aero bars once.
