If it says 26.2 it is 26.2. Nothing else will fit. Your seat tube is not like a pair of sweatpants. You can't put a skinnier post and and pull the string and bunch it up around the post.

no, i do not plan on sticking a 25mm post in a 26mm hole. i asked about those who have experience using a shim as below.

Shims work fine.

I use one for a 25.4-26.8 on the dmr. It's a shim, it does it's job acceptably.
