I need to push the rear wheel over to line the rear wheel up on my hybrid, this is only possible after removing the sprocket side spacer. I know I can't run without the spacer but could I remove about 3mm off the face of the sprocket carrier, the 'lip' that holds the dust seal, and make a new spacer? With the spacer removed I've got perfect alignment and I'm just looking for a bit of clearance, anybody done this?

what frame/swing arm/wheel are you using?
dont think theres anything wrong with what your suggesting
as long as you dont take to much off and create a weak point.

I only need about 3mm, just for clearance. I know I'll have to lose the dust seal but I can use a sealed bearing. As far as I can see, as long as the bearing is fully seated, which it will be, everything should be fine

thanks

dont forget whatever you take off the left u need to add to the right or youll knacker the swinger....oh and maybe need to re-align the disc in the caliper...you can always leave a lip on the bottom of the new spacer(like a top hat) to help keep crud out too...

thanks
