      If it were my bike, I would take it apart and find out what's going on. If it isn't clamping tight, there's a good chance the clamp itself is cracked, or the bar is.
      If you try to shim it, you may be putting a bandaid on a bigger problem.

      Have you ever tried to ride a bike when a handlebar decides to come off?
