My model is a 1956 ST and the parts catalog indicates the shim you mention is applicable only to years 1960-62. Do you believe it may still help with my problem? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Some late models had a shim between the right side bearing race and the brake backing plate. Some models had one, other models had 2. The shim is the same as the washer that is used on ALL bikes, for the clutch lever bushing on the lever perch #6543 Pull your rear brake plate,Add 2 to your axle,reinstall brake plate and wheel & you'll be set. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- After installing the chain, completing the chain adjustment, and maintaining the proper wheel alignment, the rear wheel turns easily after tightening the axle nuts a couple revolutions beyond finger tightening. If I tighten a bit more, the wheel begins binding. Any advice on how tight the rear axle nuts should be would be appreciated. |
