stuie Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Basically i stripped my bike down, had it painted rebuilt it, chain snapped, sorted the links and now iv built it back up. I tighted the rear wheel up and now it runs like a fixed wheeled bike...im completely stumped by it. Any help would be great. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 This sort of thing usually happens due to dead bearings, you will need to take them out as they may have gone either side. You did take them out when you painted the hub right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I reckon you may have missed the spacer out between the hub shell and driver bearings. It's very slim but is 100% necessary. Take hub apart to check if it's there or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very slim but is 100% necessary. Take hub apart to check if it's there or not That's what I first thought Adam, but while I was taking it all apart I saw that the spoke flange had split from the hub shell. I would post a picture but I am on here on my mobile. While you are reading this, what would be the best rear fixed hub to run on a 24seven holroyd frame as most or the hubs say ether not recommend for 26". I'm guessing this is where the spacing is 110mm on mods but on mine its 116mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
