You can't. You just stop posting to a thread (unlike I do now) and it
will gradually fade into oblivity. There's no such thing as a "solved"
status for threads, although the moderator has in rare cases used his
ability to close a thread for further posting.

a spacer is a sleeve that fits on the axle between the crank and the
bearing to keep the bearing in place. You can usually make them by
cutting down the end of a seatpost. Not sure how well it would work as
ISIS cranks are tapered and therefore will move on the axle more as they
wear.


Both my Nimbus ISIS hubs came with spacers between the cranks and
bearings. The cranks go far enough on to be tight but bottom out on the
spacers. Seems to work fine.

What are spacers, and where can I get them?

Now that I think of it. Wasting money might be a crime

There goes inflation! :x



It appears you already have some spacers (little black rings the fit
around the axle), but you want to make sure you have an even amount on
each side. because they prevent the bearings from moving around if they
keep coming loose.
