Most shims are 34.9 to 31.8 or 34.9 to 28.6, think you will struggle to find one that is 31.8 to 28.6, although I think there was an XTR m960 shim of that size.
Also, in case you didn't already know XTR m950 is designed for 8 speed.
Should be getting a Kilauea frame later this week & will be similar build but with rigid forks & XT m770 groupset

I was in the same boat with my cindercone build a few weeks back, couldn't get a 28.6 tp m750 mech so I made a shim to fit my 31.8 version.
I've since found the correct size mech, so this shim is spare?
I'm still struggling to find a carbon 27.0 seatpost that's not a kings ransom though

magas":iiazigiq said:good idea with the roadie mechs, will check out
yes, I know that the 950 series had been designed for 8 speed use, but the cage is wide enough to be capeable of 9 speed usage, too.
I've run 8 speed FMs on 9 speed but IIRC 9 speed FMs are a touch wider??
slow progress at the moment, bit of summer break
latest component I got is the BB
CrankBrothers cobalt XC
I think its a quite good compromise in between weight and lifetime
current weight of the build is 8409 gr. with still some parts more to come:
-crank
-chainrings
-chain
-chainringbolts
-BB bolts
-pedals
-liners & cables
hope to achieve arround 10,8 kg
