I was already aware that I needed a 1 inch washer from reading other threads. I even measured the sprocket. The sprocket fits on the shaft. I tested it. There's an awful lot of room, though. I'm wondering just how many washers i need to get that thing nice and tight. I'll buy a few and mess around with it until I get it right I guess.

I just have to wait till Monday for the supply houses to open. Haven't tested the fit on the rear sprocket yet. It's still on the bike.

Thanks.

Reply #93 - 08/14/16 at 13:12:29 I lubed the rear sprocket bolts with used junk oil mix for lube and corrosion resistance. The nuts and bolts had a whitish substance. Corrosion? Do these bolts need locktite? Blue? I noticed that the hub fits the sprocket such that water and stuff can get behind the sprocket.

I bought the smaller washers so they wouldn't get in the way of the chain or something. I guessed from the other chain conversion thread. Thanks, I'm glad you like my luxurious workbench. It is the WorkBlaster 5000 by NoCorp. They really make the best, don't they?
