What is the best way to shim a uni seat? I'm fitting it to a Torker Pro X.

Thanks!

If you are using a 13/16" Uni post, it will need the 13/16" to 7/8" shim in plastic or steel. If you already have the shim and you still need some more meat, do the Jim Melton trick and slice a pop can and stick the aluminum strip down there until the play is gone.

Thanks Ken! All this stuff seems so fragile at this point. I didn't want to assume anything and break a coveted item.

Ginnys sells 13/16 - 7/8 shims. They aren't the original plastic Uni ones, but they work.
