[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1156109, member: 27619"] Potentially, you could use a surface grinder to reduce the size of the shims, and that would be very accurate and maintain the parallel surface. However, the real problems come if the shims are "case hardened". If that is the case you will likely grind off the hardened surface and open up a world of hurt. It's not worth it ... Get the correct shims. If you have a local bike dismantler you can probably pick them up for a few bucks each. [/QUOTE]
