Wheel/hub gap... thing.
Staple balls - 13/5/09 at 02:20 PM

Finally managed to get my hands on some shiny wheels, but on putting them on my hubs (just test fitting) there seems to be a 4-5mm gap between the hub and the wheel, despite the front bit of the hub being snug to the centre cut-outy-bit of the wheel.





Do I just need a spacer, or have I buggered up somewhere?

Cheers

Have they got spigot rings in the middle of the wheels??

They could be the wrong size centre for the hub and bottoming out on the flange.

looks like my rhs front wheel which I couldnt get to fit for the life of me.. until I figured out there was a small reducing ring fitted inside

There is, but removing it makes no difference.

edited ^^ (sorry I was a bit slow)


btw - the reducing rings should be 63.4mm for the sierra hubs
