Need a couple of shims so I can use a 26.8mm seatpost in a frame that takes a 27.2mm post.
CRC don't sell them, so maybe they don't exist in that size, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Anyone know of a place that sells them?
it's not CRC you need it's a newsagent, the shim you are looking for is called a coke can.
what sq says
Can of coke will do just fine, just make sure you have about 5-8mm sticking out
Extensive googling sugggests they aren't made Mike.
0.2mm thick anything is pretty thin.
Coke Can?
Oh well, it was worth a try.
Thanks for the responses.
tried and tested, this wasn't idle speculation.
same here tried and tested... Works a treat.
Maybe ask Gary at Curtis where he gets his shims from?
You can get specific shimming material (just like a coke can actually) in exact thicknesses - eg 0.4mm as you need - just for this purpose. I'd just use a coke can though (actually, probably a beer can as they're longer)
