Shimming 1" steerers to 1 1/8" stems is standard practice. Even shimming 26.0 stems to 25.4 bars is standard practice. It's only standard to do these shims with manufacturered shims (Thomson and Nitto, for example). I agree that homemade shims on the stem is a terrible idea.
Coke for the win.

Epic thread is Epic.
Let me sum it all up for those who don't want to read it:
- Old guy with hair and his bike get ripped for a mind numbingly bad setup.
- Old guy with hair bursts on the scene, and people feel bad for him. Internets winning again!
- A few more bikes are posted that show less k-nowledge than love. Lulz are had by all.
- Some guy with a darkthrone avatar defends his bike.
- A bunch of people start posting decent bikes and everybody says, "That bike is fine! you're the jackass" for 200 pages.
- Silly bikes that aren't even fixed gear bikes are posted because hitting 'post quick reply' isn't hard at all.
- That's my joke bike biatcch! (amazing)
- Sock girl has the thickest ankles I've ever seen, but I'd still hit it. Nice bike too.
- More of: "That bike isn't bad! What's wrong with that bike???!!!!"
- Some guy says not to use "gay" in a negative way and then makes a joke about a '**** whistle'. Apparently **** is funny but the gheY can't be touched. What if he said ghey aidz **** whistle?
- In-Flames is not a terrible band.
- Sticker bike has stickers, let me show you.
- I seriously lul'd at the poochie thing for 10 straight minutes at work.
- Seeing a guy with broken teeth reminds me how great brakes are.
Also, please update your serious business images to:
