Title: Shim for db pro star
Post by: ammacopij72 on March 16, 2016, 12:31 PM
Looking for some advice on a seatpost shim for a db pro star I'm putting together.

I have a post that will fit (dia 25mm on my vernier) but it's a bit grotty and I'd like to use a nice fluted 22.2 if possible. I've had a look at what shims are about but nothing looks suitable, any ideas fellas?

Thanks in advance  :daumenhoch:

Cheers lads

Managed to find a 22.2 to 25.4 shim so hopefully will work as I just found a nos red and silver fluted post which should look sweet I reckon.

Colour scheme is white frame and forks ( how it came) with red parts. It'll have chrome win v bars that I picked up at mk last year and a nice set of 1.50 ukais in silver with red Suzue hubs. Not strictly factory spec but I reckon it'll look sweet.

'Twas my first BMX back in the day so have been looking out for one for ages!  :smitten:

The seatpost is 24.8mm on a DB Pro-Star, my first BMX too and I've owned/built a few.  :daumenhoch:
