I would very much like to use the seatpost that I have. That's why I bought it. But, at the time I didn't know that 27.0 posts even existed. I just assumed (my fault) that the seller meant 27.2.
I've heard of shims slipping on folks. I'm a big dude, so I'm sure it would slip on me. And yeah, almost right aint' just right
