Good point, shims are shims, always keep them. You need an assortment on hand
when you do the job.
The ones you take out today may be used tomorrow. I keep my extra ones in a
35mm film can.
I would recommend you have 2 of each; .003, .005, .010 extra when you start the
job. Those, along
with the ones that SHOULD be in your hub now will likely be enough.
