Headset reducers Shimjims (to fit 1"headset to 1,1/8&qu

[M477]

Does anyone know where I can source a set of what used to be called ShimJims in the 90's :

A basic pair of alumiumium cups/shims/inserts for modern 1,1/8" frames allowing me to fit a pair of 1" forks and 1" aheadset, that I already have, to a modern-day Kona Cinder Cone frame I have with 1,1/8 head-tube.

Cheers Matty - that's a great help - exactly what I need.

I remember Heffs bike shop (Heff was actually a friend of my dad's in Midx when we lived up there, and I bought some wheels from him once - lovely old Araya RX-7s with LX hubs for my Ridgeback of the day).

Appreciated
regards

Thanks for that - useful too - shame the place charge £5 postage for some £15 shims that probably cost £50p to post. Still good to have two places in reserve that stock them.
