I can hear myself now, "Yeah, it's a handmade italian frame custom for a former Olympian and world record holder. It's got campy C-Record this, Supurbe Pro hubs, and...oh that? That's a beer can shim."
good thing you'd only need a .1mm shim, since if you wrap it around the seatpost once, it will add .2mm to the diameter.
but i hear you.
have you ever read "zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance"?
there's a good little bit on shims.
