for those who aren't running a speedometer

[bobber bill]

do you just leave the speedometer drive assembly in place to center the front wheel on the axle? i bought a front wheel off another member recently but i didnt get the speedo drive housing so my wheel isnt centered. is there another readily available alternative ? this is my first disc brake front wheel so im not sure how it all goes together. thanks

 

[bobber bill]

oh and i dont plan on running a speedometer for the time being, so im a little concerned about letting that drive housing spin freely, of thats what im supposed to do.

Run the speedo drive, won't hurt a thing. You could push on a dust cap over the cable threads to keep dirt out. If you do run an alternate spacer, make sure the width demensions are the same. Plus most speedo drive have a seal around the outside diameter. If you don't account for that you will let dirt/water into the wheel bearing, and destroy it right quick.

I left the assembly on to center the wheel, but pulled the guts out and sealed it.

cool thanks guys. i actually got a hold of another member who is going to machine a really trick speedo delete bushing/spacer for myself and a few others. his username is punkskalar

The speedo drive won't spin on the axle. When you tighten the axle nut it pulls the axle sideways. The shoulder on the axle pushes the speedo drive up tight to the hub.

I just made new spacers. I run no speedo no front brake. Just a wheel, an axle and 2 spacers.

Post pics of the spacer he makes for you, I might have to beg for one too!

Just as I was going to help a member for the first time on this forum, the man himself appeared. I was just looking at Hugh's website maybe five minutes ago, then came to see this thread, and that he has already helped you. Hahah, good luck!
