Anyone use a shim? Would be on my DMR where the post is dropped and raised quite a lot, is there any problems with it coming out of position and stuff? Plus it will be on the jump bike (not that I get more than a couple of foot of the ground...)
Any one see any issues?
Some of my bikes have worked well with shims, others have simply refused to stay put no matter how tight the seat clamp is. You'll only find out once you've tried.
I've got one on my Hemlock until I get around to buying a post in teh corect size. THe first few uses it stayed put, but then the bike sat unused and unwashed for a couple of weeks after riding in seriously shitty weather and on Sat teh shim lifted with the post, slid back into place easily enough though.
I did consider putting a drop of locking compound between it and the frame but wussed out and slapped loads of grease in instead! 🙄
Think i'll see if I can flare the top a wee bit more so it sits under the collar and gets held in place that way.
You may as well give it a punt if you have teh post alrady as it's only a couple of quid. Think I got a brand x one from crc.
