New Tiagra and shims

Hi. Does anyone know whether new bikes supplied with Tiagra levers also come with the shims that can be used to adjust reach, which you get if you buy it as a groupset? The LBS doesn't know, and although they'll upgrade the levers to the R700 reach-adjustable ones if we pay the difference, I'd rather avoid this if poss.

And if they don't, has anyone bought the groupset and has the shims going spare?

Cheers

    I don't think they do come with the shims. You might be able to bodge it with the spesh slim shims. They're only cheap bits of plastic. Cost £4.00. You could probably trim the 105/ultegra shims to fit the tiagra levers.

    My wife's new Tiagra-equipped bike came with 2 sets of shims - 4 or 8 degrees.
