    2.50x shims anyone?

    I am looking for 2 2.50x shims if anyone has them. I have shims to trade or can just pay you. Whatever works. I checked the shim club and doesn't look like they have them.

    Hi,

    Z1Enterprises.com has them for $5.28 each. Click the pic...



    You might want to call them and ask specifically for 2.50x to see if they have any, but they have 2.55 and 2.50 in stock.

    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

      It has been my understanding that you can not order "X" shims.

      You just have to get lucky and find them in a bike unless you have a friendly dealer that will let you dig through their stock.

        I have a large collection of shims, but I've never seen an "X" shim that small. "X" shims were only installed at the factory, so they're all 2.65x and larger.

        Stick a 2.50 in there and don't worry about it. Clearances up to .10 or .12 are not a problem.

          The 2.50x's exist.

          look at the left upper "in it" shim on the thumbnail.

            I think I have one 2.5X. I'll have to check, but as Steve said, as long as a 2.50 doesn't take you over .1 you are fine.

              I did?

              I saw bwringer mention it, but I didn't.


              Brian, I used to have some 2.50x and 2.55x shims, but used them when I was setting the valves on "Freebie".

                  Nope.


                  Not even close.


























                  I'm much taller and uglier than Brian.
