Will 0.5mm gap/play in a seatpost shim work without cracking the seatpost tube? I have a Day 6 ebike; it's a large frame--the Samson model. The seat post (the frame member) is 31.4325mm or 1.2375 inches (I.D.) at the clamp collar. The seatpost (the seat support post) is likewise on the O.D. I would like to switch to a more comfortable seat, and the seats I'm looking at require the old-school seat clamp that bolts to a 7/8 inch end post atop the seat post. With me so far? These seat posts come in 25.4mm (1 inch) and 27.2mm (1-1/16 inch) seat posts (with the 7/8 inch seat mount at top). If I switch seat posts, I will need a seatpost shim; either 25.4mm to 30.9mm or 27.2mm to 30.9mm. There is no seatpost shim for my existing Day6 size: 31.4325mm--it is an odd ball. Here is the question: using either of these shims will leave a gap of 0.5325mm (31.4325 - 30.9mm = 0.5325mm)between the shim and seat post tube inner wall. The next size up, 31.6mm, is too large to fit. So, if I use a 30.9mm shim in my 31.4325mm seatpost tube, will I be able to tighten the seatpost collar/clamp without cracking the tube frame (aluminum alloy)? Anybody have experience with this? The ebike weights 54 lbs and I weigh 195 lbs. Thank you!!
To answer the question of whether you can get away with the .5mm gap, absolutely not. It probably won't be able to clamp securely, and even trying it once could destroy the seattube opening. Bikes are essentially never tolerant of this type of mismatch.

I presume you are in this spot because you want to use a seat like a double-rail Brooks or similar that requires a pipe-style seatpost, as opposed to a more common cushy seat, most of which come with a usually-superfluous clamp that can be removed in the case of a post that has its own clamp. If that's the case, I think all you need is a 27.2-31.4 shim, which is oddbal but does exist.
