KH hub type deal
Last Friday I noticed that the main cap part of my frame had jumped off of the bearing and was riding on the metal disk. it wore down the disc and gave it a little lip. I pushed it back on and everything was fine until yesterday. after riding for awhile I noticed that it happened again. any ideas as to what causes this or how destructive it is or how to fix it or if I need to replace anything? -Samus -- Ender - member of the Hell on Wheel gang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ender's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3721 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/30972 |

It sounds like the main cap is just too loose. Tighten the retaining screws with a 6mm allen key. Don't over tighten it, snug enough to stop it from sliding outward on the bearing- but not so tight that it causes the bearing to bind. If I understand you correctly, the disc is just the KH version of a spacer. It will do no harm. Hope this helps. - Frank ... also, check to see if the crank retaining bolt and/or the pinch bolts are loose. It could be sliding outward and causing a gap on the axle??? -- Frank A. - off-road "Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play." - FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE, Beyond Good and Evil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Frank A.'s Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1710 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/30972 |

It sounds as though your frame legs are sprung out a little. The best thing to do is to have somebody in your gang that does some regular maintenance to look at it to make sure that's the problem. -- U-Turn - Member of Generation XO Weep in the dojo... laugh on the battlefield.

Ok thank you guys. I did have it fairly tight so I think it might be the frame being bent. Strangely enough John had the same thing happen to him today.
