Author Topic: Shim - 13/16 to 7/8 (Read 869 times)

"help"Does anybody know where you can a get seat post shim - reducing post from 7/8 to 13/16?

Have seen them on Porkchop but the postage is more than the shim and I could do with getting it a bit quicker than waiting 4 weeks for international post.

As always, help is much appreciated

Terry, the quickest answer is to cut a coke can and wrap it around the seatpost until you find one

You could try a decent lbs (local bike shop) one that has been around a few good years mind (new ones have NFI on this stuff) or eBay.

Cheers chaps.

I am going to order from porkchop and try the coke can shim in the meantime.

Is there an easy way of doing this or is just a case of:

•drop shim down seatpost several times
•swear lots
•slice finger open on edge of can.
