To make up for a 0.2mm difference in a seat post size I did a temporary fix of using a shim made of Beer Can aluminum about 6"/15cm long 3/4"/2cm wide. Never did get another seat post and the shim is still doing just fine after 10 years...

Of course you are right and I agree... But then I would have to turn in my "Cheap Bastard" membership card... Ha
