Chakers1998 Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Hi All, Can anyone recommend some axle washers that are very sharp, like having a steel ring with serrations in the picture below? I've tried the ones that TartyBikes sell, but even putting lots of torque on the bolts they are still slightly moving, which is mashing the snail cams. I may have to buy some Hope QR nuts and see if my dad can machine them down to accommodate the bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYAKOV Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 What kind of an Allen key are you using? You might want to try a longer one to give you better leverage? Generally, these washers don’t need that much torque to stop them from spinning around even if they were smooth. You might want to look into changing the bolts instead. Another thing to check is if the axle on your hub is a bit too long and if you have the right spacers on it? If your spacers come a bit shorter, you might find that when you tighten the bolts the frame will bend in allowing the axle to protrude out of the dropouts. Then you’re risking cracking the frame as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
