Title: Shim - 13/16 to 7/8
Post by: Tel-boy75 on June 05, 2015, 08:49 AM

 "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 :daumenhoch:

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.

Porkchop sends his gear out sharpish... usually arrives in about a week.   :daumenhoch:
