rear hubs binding, dex210

[Jarred King]

ok so,

anyone had any issues with rear wheels being tighter when wheel nut is tight.

take camber link off and spin the drive shaft in your hand with the wheel nut tight and then back it off half a turn and feel the difference. difference is night and day.

anyone know how to fix this? it only happens on my 210, 410 is fine.
only thing i can think of to fix is alloy rear hubs, does the tresrey ones fit fine?

Perchance you've cranked like a maniac and crushed the lip on the plastic 14mm hex - forcing it into the bearing?

The plastic hexes require a measured force in my experience.

i did crank mine up hard and found they bound. i have now shimmed slightly behind the hex and you can do them up 8th stylee!!!:thumbsup:
alloy hexes going on next;), job done:thumbsup:

Yeah if you've damaged them you can put some shims behind instead but the alloy hexes are the way to go for proper crankage!

does anyone know where the TD aluminium 14mm hexes are in stock, or if any other alloy 14mm hexes work? Wish TD would pull their finger out and get these and other parts into production. At this rate there will be more after market parts available from third parties like Tresrey or Rudbits etc

yeah that makes sense now guys, thanks. will put a shim behind it
