Cane Creek Thudbuster Shims Specifications: The Thudbuster seatpost has its own set of accessory components that extend its performance. The Thudbuster shim, which enables you to fit any 25.4mm or 27.2 seatpost into a larger- diameter seat tube.

I've been "proper" biking now for about a year and already I'm looking to upgrade (Marin Mountvision...mmmmm) but when you're thinking of a new sport this is a competent entry. I've upgraded a few bits (thudbuster suspension seatpost and some clipless SPD pedals.)
Alll in all a good introduction into the world of offroad biking and provided that you got some slicker tyres this is an amazing machine for the communte to work....
