SS Build - Help Needed - PLEASE

Thinking back 10 years when I built my first s/s I had all the same issues as you

The axle was too short on the s/s wheel,chainline was out,chain would skip when

riding,wheel would pull over when riding,must have played about for hours and hours with

spacers on the axle,moving the wheel about on the axle as it was'nt centred correctly

Squeezing the stays together thinking one side was twisted

Finally got it set up and it was fine for about 2000miles

When the rear wheel finally died I splashed out on a specific wheel with a flip flop hub

Only had to fit a 3mm spacer behind the cog and bolt the wheel in,

wished I'd bought the flipflop wheel in the first place :rolleyes:

That's sort of what I assumed :sad:
