How did you get the rim central on single sided hub?

I've had my eye on a tranny since it first came out. And I mean that with no ooh-erring intended.

That's a magnificent build. Can you fit a 650b wheel in the back? If you stuck a pair of 650b wheels on it... Hmmmm.

as far as i'm aware it's a no on the 650b front, not tried it myself.
but it's just fine on 26's though!

hub is the same as any other hub apart from axle fitment, it tensioned and trued up fine with the new black rim i've just fitted to it!

I have a couple of cones that fit in the hub to hold it central, the rest is easy!

next was new spring assembly, a hard, to replace the old one, a soft.
there was also a new fork leg bush and bottom seal to fit....
you can see the dirt and wear, glad it's getting changed!

then it was a case of removing the air cartridge and refitting into the new assembly, and then rebuild, back together and as good as new!
