Saddle post slightly to narrow. Will a shim help?

    Hi folks,

    My saddle along with saddle post. I brought the bike back to the shop where I bought it. They sold me a 30mm post and saddle. I realised pretty quicly that it was the wrong size but I kept it anyway as they had no alternative.... and I had waited four days to get that one.

    I brought it into another bike shop today and a 30.2mm fits nicely into it.

    The problem is that it costs 30 Euro for a replacement and it's shorter than the one I have. It might be fine but I do have the saddle up high.

    Is it possible to get a .2mm shim? If so, where would I get one.

    Thanks,

    Dopey

    If it was me I would paint it or put some tape on it. 0.2 is miniscule.

    Try cutting a strip off an aluminium can and use that as a shim.
