Wanting to use my Command Post (30.6mm dia) on my new Mojo HD (31.6mm seat tube)... can't seem to find a shim for this small size difference, so am I going to have to go the 'coke can' route?? 😕
I think that that gap is too small even for a coke can. I think you might need to go down the diet coke can route. 😉
U.S.E make a shim to do that, order from a dealer.
not on the CRC website unfortunately... will get my LBS to check if they can order it I guess.
Yes... doesn't seem to be listed online anywhere but U.S.E do make them.
USE sell all their shims direct- try phoning, but I'd be really surprised if they did make them, too thin.
Why not ask Specialized for a 31.6 outer and convert it? I did this with my Joplin.
Plenty of room for a coke can. I used a coke can shim and a milk carton shim bonded together to fit a 30mm post to my 31.6mm Slopestyle.
I have one available that i have taken off my bike.
Email me on johnbpowley@aim.com if you are interested!

Wrap some tin foil around the shaft to fit?

how wrong you are

Mamadirt, thanks for the tip. Shall try the aluminum can approach for now, it's only 0.7 of a millimeter, reckon just one wrap would do the trick...

I'm used to that.. 😕
Replied to you psychle
I had to do this last week as a temp bodge to test something out. A coke can is far far too thin. You'd need a few wraps. Also it wont go far enough down the post for my liking. Carsberg export 50% extra free might be long enough.
In the end I discovered that Sainsbury's "basic" sparkling water 2L bottles (the 16p ones) are exactly 0.35mm thick(which is whats needed for 30.9 to 31.6). One wrap around, some carbon nonslip stuff and it worked perfectly for a few hours.
I then got the proper sleeve.
