Rear wheel hub fitting

[Athame57]

Happy birthday Gary, remember when these where new?

Not sure if it helps but I had issues with the wrong spacers on my 500 K0 frame - the wheel was to the right of centre I have now fitted as below standard ones in SS from Max.

My brake side spacer is 45 mm - chain side is 32 mm I believe if you have 500 hubs they are the standard size.

The distance on the swinging arm at the ends should be 242

Not that it needs confirming - fwiw my rear forks are 242 between the ends also.

Thanks for all the info (and birthday wishes0
Swing arm is 242
Left spacer is 32
Right is 50 so that must be the problem. I do have others but not a 45.
Anybody got a manky old one they want to sell ? I know stainless are available but I was going to paint it so seems a bit over kill. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

I think I might have one Gary but away until Friday ‘Oop Norf’.

I’ve got a load in the drawers at home in the shed.

I don't have any the right size as mine were incorrect when I bought the bike.

Well thanks guys, but I just found one. Ted I also found that one you kindly offered. I really must get more organised Ive got stuff all over the place.

It sounds nerdy but I made an Excel Spreadsheet with the location & contents of all my parts - I even turn the item description into pale grey print  when I have fitted the part or it's on my bike ramp - took me a couple of hours over a couple of days to do the list.

I still sometimes mislay an item as I was initially lazy with sub-box contents - I'm retired so have plenty of admin time on my hands.

I print a copy off every few weeks that I use in the garage then update when I have made lots of progress or moved stuff into parts grouped boxes etc. It has saved me hours most weeks as I can usually go straight to the right shelf & box.

Yeah, but you’ve taken all the fun out of it Ted!
Just think of the ‘muttering’ you’re missing out on,what a waste

Put the 50mm in a lathe and take 5mm off

I cant be trusted with a spanner, so a lathe is a real no no.

You know what the problem is now, carry on with the wheel building
