Is using a seat post shim a good idea or not?
My XC bike has a 27.2mm seat post which currently has a Thomson post and SDG bel air saddle. I also need a seat post for my AM bike which has 30.6mm seat post. I can’t really afford another seat post and saddle (being a poor student :P)
Thought about getting a shim and using the same post and saddle for both bikes?

Used shims loads. Never had a problem.

Its not a perfect solution but generally causes no issues

I like shims - they tend to dull out trail buzz
