Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOuter Diameter 15 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner Diameter 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness 0.30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins part number 00188-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Öhlins service part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFunction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins gives it as 8 mm, 15 mm, 0.30 mm; nothing about that is approximate. A coned or marked shim is finished — it no longer seals against its neighbour. A shim is a thin steel washer, and a stack of them is what actually generates damping in an Öhlins unit — the oil has to bend them out of the way to pass. Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against; thickness sets how hard it resists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOriginal Öhlins Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eParts remain available years after a unit leaves the current price list, which is unusual in this trade. Öhlins keeps service parts available for units long after they leave the current price list. Order by part number — descriptions repeat across sizes, numbers do not. Öhlins numbers do not follow a logic you can guess — always read them from the documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting the Number Right\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e00188-15 is the Öhlins number for this position — the same one printed in the service documentation. The published dimensions are inner diameter 8 mm, outer diameter 15 mm, thickness 0.30 mm — measure the old part against them if you are unsure. The stack is the tuning: outer diameter sets where the shim bends, thickness sets how hard it resists. Suspension technicians keep these in stock by size because a revalve means changing several at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitting and Setup Service\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAsk us about a full service: as an authorised Öhlins centre we strip, inspect, replace what is worn and set the unit back to its specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eBrand:\u003c\/em\u003e Öhlins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/em\u003e 00188-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCategory:\u003c\/em\u003e Shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eInner Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eOuter Diameter:\u003c\/em\u003e 15 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThickness:\u003c\/em\u003e 0.30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/em\u003e Sweden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Öhlins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53648665444618,"sku":"00188-15","price":2.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/00188-15_0c10886d-fdd1-4268-94af-7d2bf69c0ac5.png?v=1788871410","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-ie\/products\/ohlins-shims-8-15-0-30-00188-15","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
