insert beer can shims each taper side-see "crank saver" in tech archives

Where are you gonna find titanium beer cans?

It's a hell of a marketing gimmick fot Fat Tire Ale.

when i asked around about the beer can shim idea. i gotta resounding
negative from all lbs.
however, unlike many forays into this area-
the beer can shims worked right off the spindle
and have not failed
this is due to the purchase of three extra left aluminum cranks.

the question remains-is there a can with a thicker wall than standard
american brews?

Standard beverage cans (pop or beer) have variable wall thicknesses.
Thinnest in the middle, thickest near the top and bottom. The tops and
bottoms are the very thickest bits.

In my experience, odd-size cans from other countries tend towards
thicker construction. My wife favors these 200 mL pineapple juice cans,
which are hugely stiff (and presumably thick).

right. 'jumex' brand is an example
flexibility to conform when pressured and slid upon is a real plus for
the "exact" thin thickness crank saver shims
but that's on not deformed cranks. just a bit squooozed out on the
edges
during the whatzit cognitive phase.
the thicker 'jumex' on a more deformed and less stable surface...??

the tech writing is minus off course- that's ON each taper side.

by the weigh, are you trading the new demon frame for a a carbon
nanotube frame?

as the wheels turn...
