Does a shim 26.4 > 26.8 exists?

[Jamis Diablo]

I bought a 26.4 Syncros post, but the frame is 26.8.
I searched for a shim, but couldn't find it, does it excist?
Or does anyone have one?

Cheers

Yes - but its a bit of Coke can. Thats a very thin shim.

I read that before, a coke can is 0.1 mm, so I would need a few layers.
Anyone got experience with this?

It's been done by a few people on here.. you'd only need 2 layers.

26.4 is more rare and I think quite sought after Wicked FAT size. I would trade or sell it and source a proper 26.8. Better than to shim up. Always.

Ok, I'll try that first.
I bought it here, and it was for sale quite long, so I figured it was a non populair size.

I have a GT with 26.4 and a Wheeler with 26.4 - seemed popular back 20 years or so.

Coke can works well, but a diet coke can is lighter

Try advertising on FatCogs?

you could always go for a bit of shim brass.

Any engineering supplies place will have it.

Better than coke can.
