Redline 500a...doing my nut in!

[TELLIS302000]

Right...here's my problem!

Just rebuilt my 500a....dropped the front wheel in...there is quite a bit of play in the fork dropouts so this means the axle moves around a bit, so when you tighten the thing up and stand it on its wheels the front wheel is kicked over making it all out of line....now its not a massive amount but its noticeable and im a bit of a perfectionist!

I was wondering if there is like a locator missing or something (can any 500a owners chirp in)?

It has original Redline forks and Ukai rims so all that bit is right...driving me mental!

  Have you measured the axle diameter & the slot diameter? Some forks need wheel centering washers..

You mean the ones with the tab on that hooks in the forks? If so i cant use these as there are no holes in the fork dropouts.....

Or the droput saver style ones?

  Think they`re known as tophat washers,often needed for Haro forks.

You need the wheel retaining washer/top hat as previous poster mentions.

strange.i've had spoke wheels and skyways on mine and never had that problem.
i wonder if you have smaller axles fitted like on some of the suntour hubs ?.

oh yeah and lets have a look at it
