Hello Yogi, I hope you don’t mind me adding to your thread, I’m having a different problem and have yet another (I think) version of the rear Spin hub…
Now then…my Spin rear wheel is different again….and I have a problem with it.
Namely, if I tighten all the relevant pieces up so that it runs smooth and free I get a slight wobble, which transmits to around 3mm of travel by the time it reaches the rim, not ideal for optimum brake set-up and probably not healthy for the bearings. 1/8th of a turn further eliminates the wobble but now it sounds like a coffee grinder and is considerably less free running. So, I assumed new bearings were required so ordered a pair of 6001 2RS as suggested above.
They arrived in the post today so I commenced the strip down, but my axle is different to the ones in Factory Jacksons pics.
Mine has a larger diameter bearing near the freehub then tapers down to the same diameter as the afore mentioned smaller diameter bearings… but my wheel only has one of a larger bearing. (609 2RS)
Also, the way it is secured is also slightly different, there is what seem like a floating nut on the drive side, this has two different size threads, one inbound to accommodate the axle, the other for the non-drive side axle stub. There is no spacer in-between as its not needed with this locking mechanism.
So, before I pull out what seems to be a perfectly fine bearing, do I need to remove this floating nut which from the outside seems more likely to be the issue, if yes, how? Its stuck in there like an Alabama tick… :|
