Shimmin'

Hi guys, I have possibly the most boring fixin' question, please bear with me...

I have 22.2mm diameter bars and 26.0mm brake levers. Finding it very difficult to find a correct size shim, have tried Wiggle / ChainReaction / Amazon / eBay / VeloSolo. Does anyone know somewhere that sells these, or at least somewhere with a large range so I can investigate myself?

As a super confusing side note, the shim from my old levers was 22.2 to 25.4mm (according to spec), but it doesn't fit inside the new 26.0mm levers...?

Never mind, ended up using one half of the shim set and it seems to have worked well.

As you were...

hi hamshit, you could always cut up a coke can and diy your own shims

26.0 is a funny clamp size for brake levers. You sure you got that right?

TBH @M_V I haven't measured it, but they're spec'd as 26.0mm - Cane Creek Crosstops

hi hamshit

You might want to edit that. :)

Also, hamisht is an anagram of 'tha shim'. Thought you'd like to know.

"Or vile chicks". Touche.

We've been through anagrams of my name a couple of times. My favourite is 'is chick lover'.

Chicks are awesome.
