Can find a few from superstar, use, but needs to be 120 mm long for warranty purposes
Anyone know where I can get one that is 120 mm long

are you trying to shim a dropper post? If not a bigger post would be a better idea 🙂 I’m guessing you saw the posts about shims and crackin frames?

Yep saw the thread, but liteville state that a shim won’t affect warranty if its 120mm long, so looking for the long shim

Syntace (litevilles sister company) do them, but evolution the importers have never had any and don’t have any dates. You may be able to get them from Europe. You can get the reverb in 34.9mm and in stealth

I don’t think anyone other than Syntace make a shim in those specifics.

The one i’m riding at the moment has a 150mm 34.9 Reverb Stealth which is nice. It doesn’t creak like my old shimmed post.

If I end up buying one (likely – the bike is immense) i’ll do the same.

I got one of these;

for my recent Bromley Bike Billy Bargain. I spoke to Evolution and they said that length was all that mattered (vicar).

Maybe that plus a second shim to take it from 31.6 to 30.9?

Is it as easy as that? swap the lower part of the reverb take ir from 30.9 to 31.6? is so I’ll do that.

Yes, looked on you tube , seems straight forward, take the circllip out the bottom, undo the bottom nut
Slip the old shaft off, new one on
Only problem for me there was no stock of 34.9 and no date for them
