|   Seatpost shim for post??? | Fast Freddy
Dec 13, 2002 7:17 PM | | Does anyone know where to find a seatpost shim for a 26.8mm post to convert it to 27.2mm?? I have a Salsa Shaft and want to be able to re-use it in a new frame.... I've been looking around and can't find anyone who has this size shim.
Anyone help out?
Thanks

| Those are for wrong sizes........ | Fast Freddy
Dec 13, 2002 8:21 PM | | I need to convert a 26.8 post to 27.2 frame.
The TransX was for posts 25.4, 27.2, and 26.4 posts.
The USE was for 25.0 posts only. |

Dec 13, 2002 10:38 PM | | Hurricane Components has shims for $7. One size says it converts from 27.2 to 26.8mm, but I'm sure they mean it converts a 26.8 post to 27.2mm.

Dec 14, 2002 6:13 AM | | Still none for the 26.8 post - thudbuster didn't hit that size and the other site was for 28.6 posts.
I have a 26.8mm post and need a shim to fit a 27.2mm frame.
Maybe it will be easier to buy a new post..... |

Dec 14, 2002 9:35 AM | | I'm not a subscriber to that technique and have never tried it, but it seems to come up once per "shim" post. Don't know if it'll make up 0.2mm all-around difference you need, but maybe worth a shot??

Dec 14, 2002 10:27 AM | | I've seen that listed here also... I guess the easy answer is sell my current post and just buy another... no biggy. Figured if all of us can't find one - that's what I'd do anyway. |

Dec 14, 2002 1:23 PM | | If you go under Cambria and look at the "Suspension Seatposts" they have what you need. The "Seat Post Reducer Shims Custom" has a 27.2 to 26.8 reducer for $30 (ouch!!!) Its not in stock yet so you'll probably need to give them a call. |
| try some flashing | autoduel
Dec 15, 2002 1:00 AM | | Try Aluminum flashing from home depot.
Coke cans only shim .2mm difference, but aluminum flashing is a little thicker. |
