Answered Shimano display on 35mm bars

[BammBamm]

Hey all,

I've just upgraded to 35mm bars and trying to place my e8000 display unit/screen next to the stem. Is there a 35mm mount available to do this? If so does anyone know what it's called or the part number?

Thank you!

You need to replace the 31.8mm bar clamp with the 35mm specific clamp.
They're attached to the display with one bolt/nut

I used a zip tie for a temporary solution. It's been on there for over a year as I forgot about it. Nice to know there is correct clamp available.

I have 35mm bars. My shim display is just mounted a bit further away from the clamp, where the bars start to narrow. Doesn't have to be super-tight. Been on for a year no problem.

is it not at an odd angle now?

I like that Shimano actually thought about this. and designed the display to be in as protected a position as possible right next to the stem and shielded by the bars/stem. I'm a massive crasher. (I don't crash all that often but when I do it can be a full seeing stars "where's the hell's my bike?" type of crash) so this means a lot to me when the display is so expensive. I don't think mounting it loose, outboard or with a ziptie would have worked out too well for me so far. smashed and bent the E8000 shifters multiple times (now running far better tucked away and protected E7000 shifters)

If you are a spectacular crasher, it's better to not have levers and display unit too tight. They can then move with any impact, and be repositioned when you finally find the bike again.

Yeah. That's true of brake and gear levers and something i've been doing on all my bikes for well over 25 years.
but when it comes to an easily broken £200 electronic display that was designed to sit in the perfect position to protect it from cartwheel style crashes i'd rather it wasn't positioned somewhere else or ziptied so it could move too easily into the firing line mid crash. Mine isn't done up too tight BTW.

I almost mounted my display in the same position as yours to fit this magicshine bike light mount:
but decided the display was no longer protected suficiently further out and on the wonk (like yours is). So ordered the single clamp magicshine mount below

and mount it on the other side of my stem from the display instead. a shame really as the other mount places the light centrally over your stem.

I'd have to be incredibly unlucky for the E8000 display to make contact before my bars and stem in the event of a crash. Trust me it's been thoroughly tested

That's the problem that I had. It looked shonky on the angle of my bars.
Ended up using a zip tie for the moment and will see how that goes.
Cheers for the tips fellas!

Sorry to bump this thread... I need the 35mm clamp but can't find it anywhere... do you know where to buy? Thanks!

Where are you located?

Where are you located?

In Spain, thanks

I have the EC-S7000 display so I need this part number: Y79G01030

P.D: However they look the same design to me (the one for the ec-s8000 and ec-s7000 clamp)

Try the zip tie first. The clamp is really flexible and you can leave the display in the correct spot if you use a very thin zip (cable) tie. It's just like using a very very long bolt, but a flexible one. Trim the end to make it neat.
