Thank you gurus.
So my best (and safest) course if action would be to maker a spacer to fit between the inner faces of the bearings, then, if the outers are different, make 2 spacers to equal that out. That way I don't need to swap anything on the wheels to change them?

[skidlids]

Correct
The out race of the bearings get driven into the wheel until they are up against the casting, the inner races should then be up against the inner spaces so when everything is tightened up there is no side load on the ball races.
And as you do want everything to be tight and central you will need spindle spacer to suit

Thanks to you matey.
So I'll measure between the inner faces on my new wheel to get my spindle spacer length and then the outer face distance on my old wheel to determine how much to space the bearings out to suit my spindle!
Should've just got the right size wheel in the first place!


Not got a spare set you want to swap have you? Mine have got a lovely new white powder coating!

2 things,
1 length is quite often a factor (or so im told )
2 i have a spare spacer (will bring to snet) but if yours is too long cant you cut it down to suit ? or am i getting confused with your internal and external

a bloke stopped me on the way to work this morning,he asked if there was a B and Q in coventry,i told him no i think you will find them in QueBec !!!doh see you all at snett
