Pop cans are usually 0.1 mm thick (at least the ones I've used as shims are). Grab a can and cut it open with a pair of scissors (drink the pop first!) and try it.

Hello All,

Anyone know of a thin shim or have recommendations (other than cranking down the binder bolt) for using a 27.2 seatpost in a frame built for 27.4?

Thanks for any help,
