Wheely not difficult! GTS

Post by bobnorton »

For some obscure reason i can't put my rear wheel back in, it would appear that the cush drive is holding off and not leaving enough room, no parts replaced so its just me , or have i missed something?.

Bob, Take the rubber spider thingy back out and flip it. The o ring section in the center is holding it off,should lay flat against the wheel side of the cush setup I think.This is from distant memory.Haven't had one apart in years but I remember having the same problem and flipping the rubber around fixed it.

I had my rear wheel out recently, to replace the bearings. The problem that i had was the rubber behind the sproket carier, i had to grease both sides to get it back in place. Once i did that i got the wheel back in, not very easily but with a little patience i have made it!
