  • Seatpost shim 26.2 to 28.6 – anybody seen one?

    I’m hoping to use a 1 1/8″ ahead stem for the stoker of my tandem, but the seatpost is 26.2mm. Easy I thought, just get a shim – but I can’t find any shims with 26.2 internal diameter. Anybody ever seen one or know where to get them?

    Failing that, I wonder how feasible it would be to encourage another shim of the right thickness (1.2mm) to fit round the seatpost – for example, could I get away with opening out a 25.0mm ID 27.4mm OD shim (which is available) a bit, or will it just end up oval?

    I know I could bodge it by just wrapping with strips of beer can or whatever, but I’d rather get a proper shim if I can – it’s quite important that the stoker bars stay put!

    Any hints?

    Thanks,
    Rob
