I think Mickeyspinn you are correct! I can’t see nor feel the end of this if it were a shim, when I shine a torch down its continuous. It’s 2080 tubing which according to the inter web is Reynolds 753 and probably very thin. Never imagined a tube could be as thin as that but appears that’s what it is. It’s really strong, I touched it to see if it would peel like a coke can shim - in hindsight I shouldn’t have done that but luckily it really is strong or I think I’d have creased it. Looking at the slit perfectly cut in it I think it’s probably meant to be like that so it moves with the clamp?
Reckon so! Surprised the tube doesn't sit onto a shoulder in the lug but i guess it doesn't really need to !
Me too, a nice Vitus or an Alan are on my list of stuff I’d like if it was ever affordable at the time it appears in the right size.Reckon so! Surprised the tube doesn't sit onto a shoulder in the lug but i guess it doesn't really need to !
