Is the seatpost 31.6 or 30.9? I thought that the original poster was joking about shimming a 31.6 seat post to a 30.9 frame.

no joke.  true story!

A shim is a metal tube that allows a lower diameter seat post to fit into a larger diameter frame. You would probably crack your frame if you forced the 31.6 into the 30.9.

 

Apologies if I am stating the obvious.

I work in IT, I find when the user does not understand what you are saying you state all the obvious assumptions you have made about the problem. Normally find that one of them is incorrect.

I was at olympic earlier and they dont have any shims in stock. 

I decided to order off ebay at R30 for an aluminium shim. Now just for some patience.
