wouldn't worry too much, just get any correctly sized shim (or is your problem that these don't exist ?)
Yr telescopic post will sit right "down" against some kind of a lip so can't slip. As long as the shim fits it should be fine
Maybe put some carbon post shizzle between shim & frame so it doesn't stick or rot the carbon
(I think / IME / YMMV / don't hate me)
yes sorry didn,t explain couldn,t find a shim winstanleys list them but no stock
Evans got me one in 3 days ordered from USE. Cost 6 quid.
Cut up a coke can. The aluminium will already have a natural curl and the softness makes a perfect shim at no cost.
