I am a dedicated follower of fashion, so I bought a Thomson steerer shim to use with my Thomson X2 stem.
The trouble is, the shim itself is slightly taller than the stem, which means there is a small gap between the stem and spacers both above and below. Is it safe to trim down the shim a little bit, or is it too large for a reason?
