1993 Lotus Sport Monocoque

Pulls up a chair...
Wheels suit that perfectly and great work on the cassette!

Bit of help needed from you good folks. I have been having problems setting up the front mech and finally have worked out what the problem is. The front mech is being dragged down the mech tube under use. The band is 34.9 and the carbon tube is about that or fractionally smaller. A 31.9 band is way too small so I need some idea's on what to shim the mech with that will grip the frame and not deform with time. I only need to shim by 1mm. Any idea's gratefully received.

I'd go with the bit of coke can old faithful idea.

Ever heard of ‘shim-in-a-can’? Thank me later;-)

No I'll thank you now ...definitely buying some for the garage, never knew it existed

Front mech duly shimmed after buying a fizzy beverage yesterday and hey presto I have got gears Thanks for the advice and "Shim in a can " is on order



Also limit screws replaced with some of Racer X's titanium ones

Now it’s published... (Bike Ninjas excellent 2021 Calendar) will we see some finished shots here?

I'm waiting to do something special for the thread but Covid got in the way, but Tim was kind enough to want the bike for the Calendar
