Title: Converting 25.4 seat post to 22
Post by: Swivel on April 23, 2020, 05:27 PM

Hi all. To do this, would I need a SHIM and where can I get these from?

My Gold Post is 22 and has to go on this build.

Let me know!

Shouldn't this thread be titled 'converting a 22 seatpost to 25.4'?

Was expecting some sexy lathe action or something and now I feel like I was tricked into coming here :teef:

I've used Cane Creek Shims a couple of times. About £15.00 on ebay.  :daumenhoch:
