Wheel/hub gap... thing.

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.

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

My wife spotted that





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
