10mm spacers hub problem

Post by chrisjames »

I bought some fk 10mm spacers with a hub locating ring on them. When I fit them the spacer does not reach the hub and there is a gap inbetween. The hole in the middle of the spacer has a bit that goes narrow and it stops it pushing further onto the hub. I have now brocken one spacer so have wasted £40.

Any ideas why they dont fit? What spacers will fit. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

Tigz had the same problem. He went with 20mm spacers in the end to clear the rear spigots, and 15mm on the front.

You having problems with the rear? Or front also?

I had the same problem!

was on the phone to venom straight away asking for a replacement.

apparently it's quite common for spacers under 15mm in width

Did they give you a replacement?

Mine have snapped because I tried to tighten them onto the hub
