  Hi ,
  This is the Decathalon post fitted to my Pug renovation.
  I had to use a cut up coke can to shim it.
  The coke can shim sits slightly down from where you insert the post so you don't see it.
  It works a treat.

  Hi,
  This is a before and after of an old peugeot that I bought for £15.00 on gumtree.
  I spent approx another £100 which included new wheels and tyres , crankset and seatpost and saddle.
  I changed the old steel post for an alloy one from Decathalon and cut a drinks can to use as a shim.
  I had another problem with play on the BB axle.
  scouring the internet told me it was going to cost a small fortune to fix due to the BB being French.
  SJS cycles had a axle within 1/2 a mm of the worn one and it worked a treat for only a £5 plus a couple of pounds post
  I based my build on the charge plug which I loved but could'nt afford
  the finished weight is 10.2 kg

  Hi I used a Decathalon post but had to cut up a coke can to use as a shim.
  It works perfect.
