Just bought adicta freewheel on the bay, should be with me Saturday for that very reason mate...It's doing my head in to be honest, it going on far enough that i need a freewheel remover to get the bloody thing off but not far on that its clear of the hub.
This should be a fooking doodle, I tell ya this bike just does not want to be built  :2gunsfiring_v1: ;D

pickle:
if it's for riding i'd use the Dicta anyways........shimano ones are w@nk  :daumenhoch:

Had this before on a set up - seem to go on for about quarter then started to get stiff  ???

now if you look at the threads on each item you might find that they arte not the same in shape - this means that the freewheel thread is VVVVVVV and the hub thread is vvvvvvvv - now it may be the same size but if you look at it like joining teeth they don't fit neat - so as it goes on, the more it throws the matching teeth out of shape, and making it tighter to put on

so the best way i can think of is the get a old hub and put on the new freewheel and tighen it up (with undoing it every 3 turns and back up again ) this might cut the thread/teeth better for the bulleyes hub - if not try a old freewheel that works well on a old hub and try to put that on the Bullseye hub to soften the teeth/thread

hope it helps mate

cheers B  ;)
