Shims are available in Aluminum and Thermo Plastic, despite the latter being a lighter solution its material characteristics limit the thickness of the ID - OD measurements. Aluminum is used to achieve the thinnest shims as it is a more robust material.

A = Aluminum TP = Thermo Plastic

Shim design characteristics may affect weight. Weights are accurate to the nearest gram. Shims allow a rider to adjust the ID of a frame for a range of different sized posts.
