Help Needed: Off centered HUB
Done! Let's see if it stays fix. Thank you guys for your help! Hop on and away! PS: How do I change the topic title to: "SOLVED" or something? Here are some photos of the doing. *The material I use to remove ISIS cranks.* [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_14.jpg] *I always waste a 0,02 euro coin in the doing. Because my crank remover is too thin and goes all the way inside the hub center hole.* [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_15.jpg] *I used a Shimano remover thingy to hammer down the ball bearings.* [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_16.jpg] *I hammered them both using a plastic hammer and an old sock *boing*boing** [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_08.jpg] *Here they are, all the way in.* [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_10.jpg] [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_11.jpg] *And here is the wheel all nice and centered.* [image: http://estamine.net/unicycle/nimbus29_12.jpg] -- rui ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rui's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17654 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Nice work! My bearings popped out like that because I didn't have spacers in between the bearings and cranks. -- timekeeper ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timekeeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17506 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

If you pound on a bearing again, be sure to use piece of pipe or something (I've used a deep socket) that has an opening larger than the axle, but almost as small so the pounding force is to the bearing's inner sleeve. From the picture it looks like that Shimano tool pounded the soft sidewall of the bearing, could damage the bearing. I expect things are fine, since the bearing was loose enought to slip over, glad you fixed things. Good luck with that ride. -- Chrashing Regards, Ken I've been flying....... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chrashing's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yes, the picture may elude, but I checked before pounding and it was pushing the inner part of the bearing. That is very important, thank you. -- rui ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rui's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17654 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Wasting money might be a crime There goes inflation! :x a spacer is a sleeve that fits on the axle between the crank and the bearing to keep the bearing in place. You can usually make them by cutting down the end of a seatpost. Not sure how well it would work as ISIS cranks are tapered and therefore will move on the axle more as they wear. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Is there any problem with the bearing slipping or the wheel being off center. My trials is like that but I never thought it was a big enough deal to fix it. Should I try and fix it or will it be ok if I just leave it alone. -- Unicycle-Emele Any unicyclist in Westchester County, NY 'pm ' (http://tinyurl.com/6xu626)me.

Should I try and fix it or will it be ok if I just leave it alone. I noticed a little off balance in my 29er. It makes sense physically speaking eventhough it was only half a centimeter. But haven't tried it yet after the fix, so I don't know if it is only psicological. It was not hard at all to fix, but if you feel like it may do more worse than good, and if as you say you don't notice anything strange, maybe it's better to leave it like that. Ha, great advice hex Cheers -- rui ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rui's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/17654 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Rui, in this case the problem was in your bearing apparently. It could also have been in your wheel itself like you assumed initially. If the wheel is not wobbling but it is biased towards one side, that is not called "out of true" as one poster said. It is called that your wheel is dished. There exists also a condition as in your thread title, which is when the hub is off-centre. That would be that if you ride, you go up and down because the hub is not in the centre of the rim in a sideways view. All three conditions are corrected through spoke tensioning, but the procedures are of course different (and you don't need to know now because your problem is solved anyway). Your crank extractor is not of the right type for an ISIS hub. There are special ISIS crank extractors with a bigger 'foot'. But if you only lose one 0.02 Euro coin every time you extract a crank, and there is no other problem (like still damaging the inner thread, or being involved in the criminal act of destroying money), an ISIS extractor won't pay itself back for a l-o-o-o-o-o-ng time. And maybe you could even re-use the bent coin... -- Klaas Bil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Klaas Bil's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3442 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74973 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
