They came from some Moser frames and a fair few BMX's use them. Hens teeth. Hope you can fix it.

Inverse shim..? Whadda you mean? It's wobbly at the top though, 'cause the thing that holds the seat to the post was broken and I had to put on a random one on there..
Thanks, andy! I see they're not exactly common, I'll see what I can do to keep the seat on place without stripping the bolt.. Atax was mentioned in the link, and that's the brand of mine..I was slightly skeptical 'cause I've heard their stems had a tendency to fail unexpectedly and with the worst timing..

Long story.
Some time in late 2007/early 2008, I got a call from someone, asking me if I had aerospokes for sale. He said he'd seen my name on a poster in brick lane. I told him "er, no..." and that was the end of it. I never found out who he was.
About a month later, I remembered this and thought I'd ask about it on the forum. That turned out to be a bad idea. It was picked up by PJ, who called me several times afterwards at silly hours asking for spoks, and it was then propagated by many of the more evil & long-term forumengers (I call them the 'lifers') as a sort of in-joke.
Since then I have received more or less 1 PM a week about aerospokes, as well as others asking for bianchi pista concepts, and most bizarrely, inverse shims. Which are a logical impossibility, yet this seems to escape an alarming number of people.

Are you still doing the 20% off for people who call between 4 and 5 am ?

Haha, I see! :P A lot of nice people on this forum.. I figured it was a joke when, after I PM'ed you about those spoks of course, I saw several other threads where your name was mentioned about getting stuff dirt cheap.
maybe I'll tip off some of the norwegian fixie-crowd about your spok-stock! ;) jk
About those inverse shims, yeah I kinda broke my head yesterday trying to figure out what the hell was meant by that!

did we ever find one other than the Vuelta Excaliber? some weird and dumb yet cool looking steel and bonded aluminum Bridgestones had them in the 80's.
you could try fashioning one by cutting an old crappy post at an angle (keeping the bottom part as the shim) and fitting it with a long stem bolt.
I'm sure i could do it.
that Vuelta Excaliber is neat.

Internally-expanding seatpost (like in a stem)
Posted by
Hey guys!
On the new Pug frame I got there's a seatpost that expands internally with a big bolt, just like a normal stem..
The problem is that the seat-clamp thing is broken, I put one from another seat which kind of slightly fit, but the seat is somewhat wobbly..
It looks like there's no room for an "external" seat clamp on the frame, so I kind of depend on the internal expanding thing..
Haven't seen any of those for sale before, is it hard to get a hold of? And what is it called?
