Buy alternative bolts - I got some from a place (beginning with 's'?) that someone posted about on here. Much better than pedal manufacturers stock stuff, and cheap too.
I'm not sure about the effect of an increase in tension - yes, the shim material gets a bit of a bar indent. I think the bar's just being squashed into a smaller area, so there's more friction on it :S
I'm not being fucking defensive, you cunt.
