I want to run a 1 1/8th clamp stem.
I’m going to use a shim with the opening opposite the stem clamp.
Reckon it’ll be okay?

Yes, it will be fine. DH bikes had 1" steerers in the olden days, as did the majority of tandems. At this point, I usually mention the skinny steel tubes which were good enough for Nelson Vails on his own, but by way of a change, here's a 1" steerer supporting both Vails and his tandem stoker (Leslie Barczewski?)

If you're going to have a 1" steerer, carbon is the best choice 🙂
