We have designed a range of angled shims (10, 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20 and 25 degrees) and spacers made in aluminium to offer support and stiffness.
Whilst the D2Z pole clamp and angled shim assembly are designed to be at the min height above the basebar, it may be desirable to increase the height and to maintain good aero so we have made matching spacers with the same profile as the angled shims in heights of 5mm, 10mm and 20mm.
How to use your shims
- To angle the poles and arm rests use either:
- the D2Z pole clamp and angled shims in our D2Z USP System. This will allow you to increase or decrease the width of your poles; or
- your existing pole clamp with the D2Z interface plate and angled shims.
- To angle the arm rests only – If you have the traditional twin podium arrangement you can order our Under Arm rest angled shims to tilt just your arm rests.
Please see the D2Z USP Compatibility Document to ensure the components are compatible with your system.
If you want to use your existing pole clamp to tilt the poles and arm rests, our D2Z Interface plate is compatible with most pole clamps with bolt spacing of 20mm-40mm (the D2Z interface plate will only work if you attach risers/spacers by bolting up through the basebar. If you have to bolt down, for example with the Canyon switchplate, the interface plate will not work and you will need to opt for the D2Z Pole Clamp). If you want to achieve perfect alignment between all components (pole clamp, angled shims and spacers) use the D2Z Pole clamp and fairing.
We supply a set of M5 or M6 nuts to allow your shims to be attached to the basebar (for a thru bolt basebar). We assume you have a selection of bolts for attaching the shims as these usually come with your bike/bar.
