    Yes, i have the thin ones in my 9sp Tiagra levers. If the next question is where can you get them from they usually come with new levers so best to ask in a few bike shops as they must have them left over from bike builds :D

    They're called Specialized Slim Shims, but they don't do them for Tiagra

    You could just stick a bit of foam or something in there
    - we hired bikes in Italy earlier this year and Mrs wrx was finding the 10sp Ultegra levers a bit of a stretch, so I got some small chips of wood about the right size and stuck them in place temporarily with electrical tape, removed them when we gave the bikes back.

    Shimano do their own shims for tiagra levers in two sizes (I think you need the smaller size if you have traditional rounded drops). I got them from LBS, but I think I remember Petra doing them on line -
