I'll be installing my icon rxt leaves here in the next few days w/o shims.
Wondering what most people experience as far as needing or not needing shims.
 
I guess I'll load an app for angle finder.
Do the shims get bolted into the leaf pack, or just stuck ubder the pin?
 
Just wondering if you bolt them into the pack with the bolt, or just slip them in between the pack and the Perch

Some have a hole drilled in them that you slide the bolt through and they are attached to the bottom of the pack. Others have a notch that slip into position around the pack pin. The better ones are the former but you have to make sure your pins are long enough that the addition of the shim doesn't prohibit a good clamp of the bolt on the leafs.
