What are they called and where can I get a bulk load from, for when i move my mount between bikes.
any home made alternatives?
Edit - I see from the ibike store they are called Green stickies
Anything similar being used that won't see me having to bring them into the Uk from the states?

Scotch® Double-Sided Foam Mounting Tape, 1/2" x 75" or something like it is probably going to work. Comes in a roll for around $3.50 (US). Probably can find it in an office supply store.
At least worth a try.

I have a bit larger of a stem in diamter. It's a Thompson Masterpiece stem (excellent choice by the way). I can use the sticky tape, but can also get away without it. So I like to put a little bit of tubular glue on the bottom of the wireless mount, let it set up for about 15 minutes so it's dry but still tacky. That glue will hold the mount in there pretty solid but you can still take it off if needed. And it's fairly easy to get the small bits of glue off the stem if you take the wireless mount off.

I have on one of my bikes a Deda Forza stem which is not a typical round shape. It is too wide for the mount which kind of perches on the top of it and I don't think I can use the mount on this stem
