pulled the bearings... would have been an issue totally.
i measured the stock wheel bearing distance then measured the new wheel distance(took no picture)... it was less than the stock. figured it was purely spacer/sleeve.
looked at the new wheel's old bearings. one is wide, the other is the same as the timkins... well, it looks that way
pulled both spacers/sleeves....
top= new,
bottom = stock
left and middle are from the new wheel, right is timkin
look at the bearing for the front.... same story.
what to do here? i'm thinking swap the spacer/sleeves or but the new wheel bearing back in... or buy new left/right spacers?
I still have that shim from the front wheel adventure and the 3 spacers from the other front.
Very interesting...Wide and thin bearing in the same wheel. Definitely they can "get there" with those, but not with that center spacer sleeve along with that combo of bearings. It should/would have shown itself if you had installed it out of box...
REAR WHEEL
Ok, with the parts you have you can do a test fit...
-Install the wide bearing (20.6mm) on the disc brake side first -Insert newshorter 4.8245" spacer sleeve
-Install another wide bearing (20.6mm) on pulley side
You don't need to install the pulley or mess with the belt for this test fit, but install your rotor (at least temporarily) to check rotor to caliper alignment.
If during that check you find that rotor could stand to move to the right slightly (or will tolerate moving to right)...only .010-.020", I'll tell what parts to use with your 15mm 205pp bearings. You'll need to acquire another part.
BTW, those 20.6mm wide bearings would be a Timken W205pp (wide 205pp)
Oh Yeah...What's the length of the front spacer sleeve (stock and new)? you said wide and thin bearings up there also?
