I'll have to ask him. I know he has changed his pulleys in between at least 2 if the belts and axles. And yes he has his spacers back in. He has taken the back wheels off of other people's bikes without creating issues... He did have his axle over tightened before which may have bent theswing arm but I don't know how you would know or if it would even cause this reoccurring problem.
