Shim horror stories! I've used shims once and will again on my Clem build
as the stem I could find is 26 and the bars 25.4. My recollection is they
were a pain in the arse buy I slid those suckers in and tightened the clamp
without too much pain and suffering. But, without shims is always better
A somewhat related shim question.
On the Analog Cycles site on shims, they mention not using them with
Boscos. I'm assuming this is a leverage thing?
I'm currently using shims on a threadless non-Riv to get from 31.8 to 25.4
using Boscos. I've recently been riding that setup more off-road and b
I avoid shims unless there is no other option. I will buy another handlebar
or stem before using shims. I had no choice on my Riv Custom - Rene Herse
Randonneur Bars are only available in 25.4 and Nitto lugged stems are
available only in 26.0. I have a Craftsman spreader tool for the stem and
i
It is and I will. Thanks!

If it's a NITTO stem tell LBS to torque the clamp bolt to 14- 16 Nm or 120
-140 inch pounds.. Important!!! They should know that.
That will ensure it won't creak when pulling on bars or when standing while
pedaling.
I always clean shims and bar at contact points with isopropyl alcohol
before assemb
Thank you all.
I have two metal shims, so will probably take it to lbs.

Email sent to you. I'ma need a close-up pic where the bar goes into the
stem to be sure what we're dealing with here.

Joe,
Are you sure? Your original response got me dialing my LBS.
Now I'm nervous again. With Candice and James @analog we tried so many
stem/ handlebar combinations and settled on the nice high stem that I
purchased while I was there. I wanted to try the Albas first, so I left
with them on
Wait, false alarm. I've seen that bar and stem on your bike, there's a shim
there that comes with the bar and doesn't separate..that section is the
25.4 measurement. I don't think you have a separate loose shim, your Billie
should slide right in there no problem.

You'll need the shims (should be 2) and honestly I hate them suckers.
They're maddening to keep in place while you slide your bar in, plus they
like to scratch it up. It can be done with lots of patience but I think
it's a pain in the patooty best solved with a new 25.4 stem. Is what I
think!
