bought the post 2 weeks ago love it, changed frame thinking it it would just be a case of getting a shim - big mistake, it seems that you cannot buy a 30.9 -31.6 shim as the space is to small , with the exception of using a coke can, which i really dont want to do as its a dropper post does any one have any suggestions?

You can't buy one IIRC but you can get the metal sheet to do it.

Contact Superstar they might be able to sell you a larger body for it as the shaft size might be the same.

.. you could sell the seatpost and buy another (if they do the other size).
