Product Information
Full details
The Pro VIBE EVO Shims are essential precision components designed specifically for cyclists using the Pro VIBE EVO integrated handlebar system. These shims ensure a secure, rattle-free interface between your cockpit components and the steerer tube or accessories, providing the structural integrity required for professional-grade cycling performance. While they offer a flawless fit, they are highly specialized parts that are exclusively compatible with the VIBE EVO system and cannot be used as universal shims for other handlebar models.

FAQs
Are these shims compatible with standard alloy handlebars?
No, these shims are engineered specifically for the Pro VIBE EVO integrated handlebar system and are not compatible with standard handlebars.
Do I need carbon assembly paste when using these shims?
Yes, it is recommended to use a high-quality carbon assembly paste between the shim and the contact surfaces to prevent slipping and protect the carbon fiber.
Can I reuse the shims if I move the handlebars to a different bike?
Yes, provided the shims are not deformed or cracked, they can be reused when transferring the VIBE EVO system to a new steerer tube of the same diameter.
How often should I inspect the shims?
It is good practice to inspect the cockpit area for any signs of movement or wear every 500-1000 miles, or whenever you perform regular bike maintenance.
What should I do if the shim appears cracked?
If a shim shows any signs of cracking or deformation, discard it immediately and replace it with a new unit; do not attempt to repair it.
Troubleshooting
Creaking sound coming from the cockpit
Disassemble the area, clean the shim surfaces of dust or sweat residue, and re-apply a light layer of carbon assembly paste.
Handlebars feel slightly loose after installation
Verify that the shim is seated in the correct orientation and ensure that all mounting bolts have been tightened to the Pro VIBE EVO torque specifications.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Pro VIBE EVO Shims should be performed in a clean, well-lit environment to ensure no debris is trapped between the shim and the carbon interface. Always use a calibrated torque wrench when tightening the bolts associated with the VIBE EVO system, as exceeding the recommended torque can damage the handlebar's carbon structure. To maintain the shims, periodically check that the interface remains free of grit; if you notice any movement or "clicking" sounds during your ride, disassemble the cockpit, clean the shim and the contact surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth, and re-torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specification.
