  1. I need a 2mm spacer under the sprocket of my track bike in order to get
    the chainline just right. Where could I get one (all the bike shops
    round here are useless)?

    A Shimano cassette spacer is almost perfect but, being plastic, gets
    crushed when I tighten the sprocket.

    Are you sure you can't get hold of a metal Shimano spacer? All the Shimano
    cassette spacers I've used have been alloy.

    The spacer is identical to the one used to space SA sprockets, knowledge
    of which may get you a little further. Failing that, I may have one at
    work which can be yours for postage. Email me if you want it.

    How about 4 x Marchisio steel 0.5mm cassette shims*, available from Parker
    International.
