    Hi
    Has anyone tried the V Twin adjustable wheel tube spacers. I have only found two reviews on Amazon, one said the diameter was too wide, while the other said it fitted great. 
    I am not sure of the year of my rear wheel, but it is probably early 90s spoked rear.
    Anybody used them?
    Cheers

    Never seen em till now. Interesting idea, would be a bit of a pain setting end play constantly taking it in and out rather then the normal shimming.

    For a newbie like me, it was a pain trying to get the correct end play. If it does work, I think it could be a huge advantage. My concern us whether it does work. Seems not many have used tbem. I might have to kerp searching online to see if there are more reviews.
    Thanks for your reply.
    Cheers

    I dont think this spacer will make end play setting any easier, its just a different (and probably harder) way of doing it.

    Instead of measuring, adding a shim, measuring again, you'd have to measure, take out the spacer and re-adjust and -retighten t, put back in, measure etc, doing it again if not correct.

    Maybe. I'd like to give it a try.
    My concern is that the OD is  too large for my hub.
    I might try and get that spec.
    Cheers
