Rear Skyway Tuff - freewheel spacer

<< < (3/4) > >>

Rombloke:
no i fancy that bren is correct, its a small piece of tube that fits over the axle before the final cone lock nut, thus giving you a bit of space between the freewheel and the rear dropout.
easily obtainable at your lbs

I take it this is only an issue on the newer (old) tuffs Dave?

My old set (alloy hubbed) don't have it, but my newer (still old) plastic hubbed tuffs do.  ???

Jim, what sort you getting?

No looks like GJS is correct looks like the thread is missing.

Can these be purchased?

Cool! cassette type hub skyways  8). not so many of them about now. (i had a red set of those back in '82 on my first bmx (mongoose) with steel hubs front and back).

shimano dx cassette hubs (at least the newer black ones with red logos) and also the odyssey cassette hub driver come with a spacer behind the sprocket.

that'd be the ticket of it was the same spline configuration as on ur tuffs.

might be worth seeing if you could get one of those to try? someone on here may have swapped their regular odyssey driver for a one piece type and has a spare driver lying about which you could use as a donor for the spacer if it was the same spline set-up on the freewheel.
Plus it's only alloy, so if necessary u could easily modify it to suit.

(and if they are the same spline configuration as your skyways, it means you can go down as small as a 12t sprocket on the back...)
