Mounting Airzound on oversize (31.8) drop bars?

Has anyone managed to mount an Air Zound on a road bike with oversize bars?

The clamp is too small to fit around the bulge and there's no space where the bars are normal thickness, as they are taped.

I don't want to remove some of the tape, but I can't see any other way of fitting it?

Thanks!

    Hi Elevated,

    Could you not use a P clamp instead of their clamp to mount the air horn to your handle bars.

  • Old thread... i know but:

    "Oversized or taped handlebars
    To attach your AZ onto oversized handlebars (i.e. up to 1 1/4"): remove the volume knob from the horn;
    press horn onto handlebar without the clamp using the thin shim; wrap the two 8" cable ties in opposite
    directions through the volume knob hole and around the horn (above the back cap and below the button);
    place the air bottle in the bottle cage. The horn will fit over extra thick tape or extra thick handlebars, but
    not with the clamp. The only way is to put the AZ against the bar & use 2 zip ties in opposite directions
    around the horn & handlebar. We are happy to send extra zip ties or clamps or nuts, just send us an
    email with your address."
