I've found a 130 axle and bearing to replace my old 126 axle so I can
use my old Comete +/- disk on my carbon TT bike! I went to tap the
axle with bearing back in and found that there is a bushing or shim
that went all the way around lining the outside of the bearing race on
the freewheel side. It had started to curl away from the hubshell, and
I couldn't get it to smooth or flatten enough to get the bearing
started. After fiddling, I noticed the ends of the shim curling even
more. As I tried to smooth the edges, they curled more and the entire
shim came off. It looks as if it may have been epoxied in place. Does
anyone have experience with this type of situation and can you provide
some help regarding shim replacement, materials etc. Is there a
slightly larger diameter bearing that could be used for a snug fit
without the shim? The fit without the shim has too much play - the
shim looks to be about half the thickness of a coke can. Thanks for
any help or recommendations on shops that might be of assistance.
