Anyone got a reliable source for centrelock brake rotor shims?

Previously I bought from Cyclocross Racer but they’ve been out of stock for months…

Ta.

I just got some shims, standard bearing ones.
35ID 45OD and three thicknesses.
Just need a bit of a push and a jiggle to get them over the 35 and a bit mm centrelock spline.

superstar components is your friend for 6 bolt.  Cant say i've ever seen centrelock shims but may be worth dropping an email:

Those look like they are the washers that go directly behind the lockring despite the fact that it says spacers on the description the diagram shows them to go behind the lockring. TBH they look quite wide so not sure they'll fit.

I can get 4 for £30 from the USA but I was hoping to get some from the UK for a lot less than that!

USA Shims

A shop in Bournemouth had some but they texted to say they had run out after I ordered them.

The jagwire ones are the friction washers for the lockrings

Just google 35x45 shims.
You'll get a load of hits and about a quid each

So are they easy enough to get over the centrelock splines? Looks like the diameter of the CL is 35.5 mm so do they need filing or something. Small files are something I don’t have actually…🙄

We just had some from here, but now says they aren't accepting orders? It's just part of a shop I think, give em a phone. Our order arrived next day
