Hello - first post, I hope this question is in the right forum.
I have a Saracen Traverse, bought new in 1992.
I will appreciate it if someone could help me please with information regarding the spacers on the rear axle.
Over the years the spacers might have been incorrectly reinstalled after rear hub/cone disassembly.
It's more-or-less as original, apart from an Orange AliStalk stem (the original Zoom stem had to be replaced) and pedals.
I'm reasonably sure, but not absolutely sure that all of the rear axle spacers are in the right place - but, over the years they might have been mis-installed (gear changes are OK, the rear derailleur high/low adjustment screws don't seem to be abnormally screwed in/out).
The rear dropout spacing is 135mm.
All of the spacers are currently on the non-drive side of the axle. There is one wide spacer (10mm?) and two thinner ones (5mm each?).
There is also a washer (about 1mm) between the locknuts and cones on each side of the axle.
Can anyone confirm that this is correct (or otherwise), please?
This is assuming that respondent's rear hub is identical to mine, with the same spacers (Shimano also made a 130mm version of the FH-M650 - mine might be a 130mm hub which has extra spacers added). Also assuming that the spacers are as originally installed by Saracen.
Thanks in advance
