Post by: spesh on September 26, 2006, 10:02 PM

anyone know the size coz ive put a 22.2 mm post in and it seems a bit slack by about a mm
it deos up tight tho but the seat tube pinches up quite a bit  is this right?

Try http://www.billys.co.uk (http://www.billys.co.uk)

Depends on whether you have old or newschool frame, different seattube diameters. A lot of shims for sale are for new bikes and too big.

I found a Wald shim on Ebay that took 22.2 down to 21.1, it'd reduce your seattube diameter by ~1mm, but I noticed the seller is no longer registered.
It'll be available elsewhere though, it's a standard sized shim. It has a serial code if you need me to check it.

Edit>> I better mention the coke-can trick, you could make your own shim quite easily.
