Title: Tuff II... Don't know what to do?
Post by: steveis28 on November 16, 2005, 02:24 PM: Hi All,

I bought a set of Tuff II's a few months ago and upon building my Supergoose, I stumbled upon a problem...

In a previous life it appears that the Rear Wheel has had the spindle overtightened causing the metal hubs to pull in toward each other. This has then caused the Freewheel to move inwards, thus causing the Chain to not flow straight.

Has anybody overcome this problem before?

I think I need a Rear Wheel Rebuild kit, but don't know where to find one?

Any/All help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

Steveis28
