Simple question: is it ok to use a 30.8 seatpost on a 30.9 frame? Particularly, I am talking about a Heckler frame and a Nashbar (road?) seat post. The difference is only 1/10 mm so I think it's fine but just in case... Thanks in advance!

No, it's not okay. It will slip.

Actually the beer can shim works. Talk to Howard Zinn, he says to do it in his Cycling Primer book under the Maintenance section.
