Bullseye 1st gen cranks help!!!

(1/3) > >>

Gnarlyscoots:
Right guys. I am looking for a little technical help here please.

I have a set of chrome first gen Bullseye cranks and want to fit a Tuf Neck disc to them. The Tuf Neck axle hole is 23.8mm. The Bullseye axle is 22mm.

I ordered a 23.8 to 22mm top hat washer which slides over the Bullseye axle until it reaches the end of the splines. Then there appears to be a ridge before it drops down again as the axle smooths out.

What would be your best advice for me to be able to fit this top hat washer?

Thanks in anticipation,

Terry

The cranks, sort of ringed, where the ridge is...

The Bullseye splindles are 7/8" Terry, so i'd just  enlarge  the centre hole of the tophat washer by about .5mm (.2mm difference plus a bit of clearance) with a flapwheel on a drill  ;)

Gnarlyscoots:
I hear what you are saying Steve but, it fits over the splines ans stops where the splines meet the main axle body. You can feel a ridge and on the other side, it tapers down again a little. If I start making the top hat washer slightly bigger, when it goes over the ridge, it will then be slightly loose on the axle body.

Does that make sense buddy  :-\

The ridge is very slight but you can feel it with your fingers and it's enough to stop the top hat washer from just sliding on.

dp and chopper dude:
Would heating up the washer open it enough to get over the ridge?

MartyC:
Try putting it on the outside of the  Power Disk against the crank face and not the bearings.
