500 rear wheel position looks off center ?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Bryanj:
I will be honest and say i picked a wheel with good drum and usable rim from my pile of wheels when i assembled that bike so apart from the fact the brake plate fits the wheel i dont know what it came off, i think it was one of the relined drums i had done

Maybe the rear wheel is a 550 one which is different spacer wise. The brake plate is also different so that will show if it's a 550 rear wheel or a 500. They look the same visually.

If it is a 550 rear wheel it's well off central with the spacers. I bought a 500 brake plate due to the original being damaged. Is there a measurement I can take the will confirm if it's a 500 hub?

At the present time the original brake plate is still in place.

Oddjob:
Ted a 550 wheel will drop straight into a 500 frame, so long as you use all the hardware. However what you can't do is mix and match, a 500 brake plate won't fit a 550 hub IIRC due to slight differences in the hub, the left hand spacer is different as well, the right hand one even more markedly different. Post a pic of the spacers and we may be able to clarify what the wheels off.

I believe the spacers currently fitted on Teds are 42313292000 and
42311390000

Do you know if the "pile of wheels" were  all 500 ones?
Would the relevant axle & spacers have been attached to the corresponding wheel?

I would have thought there must be some way of identifying a 500 hub presumably a measurement of its axial width?

FWIW I believe it is a 500 hub with the wrong spacers fitted in place.
