Title: Supergoose Needing A Seat Post Shim
Post by: Retrodan72 on May 03, 2011, 08:37 AM
Alright Fella's, just assembling my Supergoose 3 after a claen up/semi-resto. I've bought a MX hinged seat clamp from porkchop and I get get it nipped up tight enought to stop the seat post from turning a bit.

I'm thinking a shim would be the way to go to get a solid, tight fit, any ideas what size I would need to get??

Cheers Dan.

The use of a coke can is the normal solution Dan. A pair of scissors will cut it up nicely or put a post up for an Elina seat post shim.  :daumenhoch:

you have most likely sent a man to his own death  :shocked: any one knows that if you cut into a coke can, it will have it's revenge and cut him back - he will lay bleeding on the floor for hours and not be able to cry out for help  :shocked: :shocked:  why not tell him to run with scissors  ::) and kill him qiuckly !

cant beat shimming up a pole , works like charm been at it for years ,  moved on from coke cans now though being a bit older , trouble is, and i've said this before , you have to try 10 or 12 tins before getting the right one , thing is after that your realy not bothered if your seat spins round, as is not going as fast as the walls  :LolLolLolLol:
