Default 28.0--27.2 mm shim ?

Hi,

I am looking for a shim that enables me to mount a seatpost of 27.2 mm in my
Colnago frame. I know USE makes them, but theu're not represented in
Holland any more.

Who sells these shims? Peter maybe?

Greetings, Derk

I forgot to ask: is there ever a reason not to use a seatpost shim?
Will it ruin your frame in th elong run e.g. ?

TIA! Derk

Sometimes, just talking about it in public helps ;-)

I use a shim on my colnago since a very long time for the same reason as
yours and there are no problems. (c40, alluminium seat post)
