Stupid question about rubber bits.....

HAIRYEYEBALL

Hi,

I have a bit of a silly question....
I recently got myself a Boardman Sport HT and in the box with the pedals, reflectors, manuals etc were these four rubber pad/spacer things.....
they seem to be left and right orientated and one "pair" is thicker than the other.
They have two "knobbly" bits on them that look like they clip into something... But WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
I have absolutly no idea what they are.... Does anybody else know???

Thank you to anyone that can enlighten me with there purpose lol

They almost look like mushrooms.

Have you tried them in an omlette or stir fry?

they are shims/spacers to adjust the lever position on shimano STI road lever assys.
