hey fellars,
after sum valve shims, not sure exactly what im after
but looking at  a 290  or possibly 285 or 295.
what i dont use i can send back,
any help would be appreciated.


Pete I have a 280, 290 and a 300. I'll put them in the post on Monday. PM me your address.

When you asked for them before you said 190. I thought that seemed awfully thin.  :o

how well do you know a local bike shop,, what I do here in the country,{ but your in the city}, so I don't know how well it would work,, is take my out of adjust shims into my man,tell him the feeler gauge reading,, and swap for the new right sizes,, if there's more than 1, I take them back after the jobs done
