  1. Does anyone make a shim for using a standard 1 1/8" stem on a Klein 1/16"
    steerer?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    I assume you mean "Klein 1 1/16". In that case the shim would have to have
    negative thickness.

  3. What are you talking about?!?! ARE YOU NUTZ?

    1/16 is less than 1/8
    The shim would have thickness. As for finding the shim, dunno.

    The OP forgot the first "1" in the "1 1/16'."

    Yup $6.50
    May have to shorten it a bit.

    Not so much NUTZ as ignorant. I thought Matt was trying to put a 1 1/8"
    stem into a 1 1/16" headtube.

    Matt: Don't know why everyone's giving you such a bad time on this one. Yes,
    Klein makes a shim that does the trick, runs about $7 if I recall correctly.
    Should be available from your local dealer (although most likely they'll
    have to special order it for you). Sorry I don't have the part # handy, but
    if you run into trouble let me know and I can find it, and confirm they're
    still available.
