Guantanamo Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) hi,Just came to convert my onza zoot to single speed, only trouble is the trialtech spacers i bought are too tight to fit on the hub. The hub is the standard rear hub that came with the zoot. Any ideas to fit them on? I tried sanding them down a little but that didn't work. Was thinking about trying heating them.any other ideas would be appreciatedthanksadam Edited September 24, 2009 by Guantanamo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 You'll have to cut them. There's not really any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guantanamo Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 You'll have to cut them. There's not really any other way.it's not the width of the spacers, there's no issue there. it's how tight they are, they won't slide on to where the cassette wasthanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I bought some of those, that did that. Tarty offered to replace them for a set that did fit for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hammer them on, they'll stretch. Don't cut them up though, that'd just be retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Return them and get a set that fits. If you have an old cassette drill out the rivets and use the spacers out of that (Which are plastic and therefore lighter and plenty strong enough to do the job). My commuter bike is done this way - I put a big cassette sprocket on the freehub body on each side of the driven one so even with the complete lack of maintenance on the bike and no tensioner the chain still can't come off.
