Hi,
I bought a bike and have to do a lot of maintenance on it. Looking at the hubs, I have a doubt about the nuts/washers organisation, and think one of the previous owners flipped all the inner locknuts (B on my pic)
- Pic 1 : the way the nuts/washers are currently set.
- Pic 2 : detail of nuts/washers, giving them a name and current orientation on the bike
- Pic 3 : other side of nut/washers.
Currently, B is used as a locknut against A, with the round and splined part against A and the "half squared part" against the fork.
And both sides of both hubs are set this way …
I think B should be flipped to have the splined part against the fork.
To get in order:
- A (round part against the bearing, half-squared part against B)
- B (half-squared part against A, round part with splined surface against fork)
- C (splined surface against fork, smooth surface against D)
- and then D
…Is it right?
