I am having someone make some new axle spacers for an older Excel hub for a friends 2000 KX250. Parts are no longer available. Yes I called Excel directly.
Inside these hubs the inner bearing races ride on the axle spacer, not directly on the axle.
The sprocket side spacer got chewed in half due to lack of maintenance.
How tight do the spacers need to be on the axles?
The one good spacer has a bit of slop, but I'm not sure how much that matters once the axle nut squishes everything together.
Those 2 pieces should be one piece which the 2 sprocket side bearings ride on.
Anyhow how critical are the tolerances when making spacers like these?
