DescriptionThe whole story▼

Shims 8/16/0.20, Öhlins part number 00186-16. Face flatness matters as much as thickness — a shim that does not seal against its neighbour leaks damping.

What It Is

At 8 mm, 16 mm, 0.20 mm it fits one position only; the next size up carries a different number. A worn or bent shim shows up as damping that has quietly drifted from the setting sheet. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. Outer diameter sets the lever the oil works against; thickness sets how hard it resists.

Why the Original

A damper that can be rebuilt is a damper that stays on the bike; that is the whole argument for original service parts. Öhlins numbers every position so a workshop can order precisely what it needs, not a whole assembly. We can supply the whole position from the drawing rather than the single piece if that is easier. For a full rebuild, the seal kit plus the wear parts is usually the sensible order.

Getting the Number Right

The reliable route is the exploded drawing: find the position, read the number, order it — 00186-16 in this case. Öhlins states inner diameter 8 mm, outer diameter 16 mm, thickness 0.20 mm for this number, and those figures are the deciding ones. Changing one shim in a stack alters the damping curve measurably; that is why Öhlins sells them individually rather than only as sets. A worn or bent shim shows up as damping that has quietly drifted from the setting sheet.
