Full Tilt Forward Lean

So I just got some new 2014 dropkicks. They come with the 2mm shim in the boots when you open the box, correct me if I'm wrong. Also they come with 4mm shims for extra froward lean. Anyway so can I take out the shims for a even more relaxed feel? Or will parts rub up on each other where the shins would usually be?

You can take the shims out with no worries about parts rubbing or wearing out. Just flex the boot all the way forward and you can wiggle the shim right out the back. Feels like a more natural stance to me.

I've been riding mine with no shims for a season with no problems. My boot fitter set them up for me that way.
