Thanks Bryan, I think I've read this advice from you before so I'll give it a try this time.  I really enjoyed lacing my XS wheels, I ended up using dynabeads to balance them rather than visible wheel weights.

Does this spacer from the sprocket side of the rear axle need replacing?  I wonder if the roughness will eat the new dust seal I've fitted.

If it's the outer spacer you can get them in SS from Max via Ken methinks

Just had a look for it in the garage but part is not where it should be then I remembered why.

My original steel 500 rear spacers I posted out to Max who made exact copies of them - when I fitted the SS copies the rear wheel did not sit centrally.

That is when I found out that my bike had the wrong spacers fitted. Max supplied the correct ones - I binned the old steel ones as I have no idea what they were off.

I do however have the wrong sized ones in SS that are useless, sorry if I have built your hopes up - I should have looked before I posted.

The SS one I have is 38 mm deep spacer so almost certainly the wrong size.

That is worryingly worn Dom, like the hub had been media blasted and the seal and spacer left in. You need to replace that. Max has them for sale on Ebay last time I looked https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156003857172?hash=item24528df314:g:Dm4AAOSwRrpk6SW8&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwFenbnOcq2gpA3mu2NrOTve8TZF3EgxbEA2Nuw3BfqG75mq%2FS64omy%2FXjNFgCKk2RVXyt0TxxsrawFG9Mj9edkyHCEgBLbNehVWpVJlSm0y9Fz1KZygQ1A0RkS2h2bKLA4jXLcCjv8eg1Q%2BqbRmWiiaRWjMEerUe5f%2BeiMox8YuLQeY6cI3o4iRleYLZSDVwx2AcG1RkM2t9S2nmI6c5Q%2BKp0wIAzJK4Ldmzt8OReob8gx7B4jbP3nfL9ZN8ncCHsQ%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR8rOxL2tYw

It's from my rear wheel which the hub was totally knackered from the sprocket carrier wearing away so has been replaced and rebuilt, this is one of the only remaining pieces. 

I think Roos offer or a stainless replacement from Max might be the best option.

Its not stainless Dom, its just one I was practising my plating on, It came out really well but I had some SS ones to fit anyway, like I say, ,more of a practice piece but youre welcome to it once I get home and dig it out. I know where it is,  just hope its the right size for you mate, should be 8)

Ahh, the sprocket carrier oscillating would certainly cause that type of damage Dom. Explains that.

I picked up my rear rim from the powder coaters this morning,  laced it and trued up with minimal adjustments needed to get it within 1-2mm runout.  Pretty pleased with how it's turned out, just need to get the front rim from Bryan collected and drop off for the same treatment.  Oh and new spokes for the front to replace the ugly thick ones currently fitted.

Ted, I'm pretty sure 38mm is the correct size for my 550f1 assuming it is the sprocket side
