I've got an unhealthy collection of spare hubs so thought I'd set about them today and see what's what, replace bearings etc.
Replaced the bearings on one set, all good, but on another I am not sure what's going on.
It was complete with an alloy freehub, well I say complete, it's missing the little washer they sits between the freehub and inner bearing so I need one of those.
After replacing the hub bearings, I swapped out the alloy freehub with a steel one after replacing the bearings in there too (all lovely skf).
Once reassembled there seems to be very little axle sticking out of the freehub end, there will be even less with the washer, hardly anything for the end cap to seat over.
What have I done wrong?
