This is the RogueMechanic Shim Kit made to solve the problem of axial movement in Campagnolo Ultra-Torque bottom bracket systems. This movement sometimes manifests into noise in the form of clicking and/or knocking. This side-to-side movement also accelerates the wear of components. This shim kit is machined here in the Cleveland area from high-quality, US-made 18-8 stainless steel with the help of my father-in-law. The shim kit has a total of eight shims (four different thicknesses) so that you can precisely dial in the correct stack height.
This set of shims is specifically made for BSA/English threaded bottom brackets.
Here's a video explaining the installation process.
If your Campagnolo bottom bracket is creaking along like a mother-in-law, these shims are an absolute must have. Why suffer with every revolution and needlessly destroy cups and bearings? Order now and quality, silent, smooth riding is on the way to your door step.
Ultra Torque shims were of high quality. A little spendy but worth every penny. My order shipped immediately and arrived in perfect condition.
Installed shims . bottom bracket is tight and smooth.installation was so easy a campagnolo engineer could do it.
This ultra torque shim kit works exactly as it should. It eliminated the wave washer that campy designed and sets the bearings up properly with just enough preload. This is how campagnolo should have designed the ultra torque in the first place! My bottom bracket now turns quietly even under heavy load like an out-of-the-saddle steep climb. I am very happy with this product!
This shim kit is very high quality and well made. The shim kit instructional videos provided by John on the RogueMechanic web site were exceptionally detailed and helpful!
I have used the Campagnolo ultra torque crank/bottom bracket system on my road bike for many years with no issues. Recently, I noticed a slight, intermittent clicking noise coming from the bottom bracket when climbing. I decided to replace the wave washer, the old washer appeared to be worn, re-greased the bottom bracket cups, and the noise went away.
In the event the clicking returns, I will use the shim kit to eliminate the pre-load provided by the wave washer. This option seems to be a great permanent solution to remedy potential noise issues associated with the ultra torque system!
Third time I’ve used Rogue Mechanic for parts for my Mavic rims. Mostly 12 and 15 mm front axle end caps. Recently updated to a Shimano DI2 XT/GRX - 1X12 and needed a “micro spine free hub” for it. I also needed a different axle end to fit on the free end of the free hub, but they helped me out with both parts one of the few places I’ve found to get knowledge and parts for Mavic wheels & hubs on this side of the pond. John helped out with any and all of my questions and needs with my order to make it work on my now 12 speed rear wheel wit a new HG 10-52T XT cassette.
John was a great help identifying what exact parts to buy, and not to buy to upgrade my 2010 Santa Cruz Tallboy OG. Looking forward to installing parts from Rogue to upgrade to 1x12 Eagle 🤙
RogueMechanic John was incredible. Not only did he field 10 emails from me about random 2016 Mavic replacement spokes (sigh...), but he followed through on everything from positively IDing the right part numbers to back discounting me 10% as a new customer. Dude's a Legend and deserves your business if you're unfortunate enough to be using Mavic wheels and need parts. John's the Man! Thanks John
It’s really amazing I can still get the spare parts for my old Mavic wheels.
John was super helpful in determining the compatible parts for my wheel and getting them to me very quickly
Excellent price, fast shipping! Great experience

Thank you RogueMechanic for having the passion and parts to keep Mavic wheels rolling! Communications were 100% and a pleasure to do business with.
Thanks to Rogue Mechanic for a very prompt shipment and delivery to Australia and parts as expected.
