"Mutter mutter" - sprocket carrier install help please
« on: August 21, 2012, 08:26:46 PM »
Hey all,

I'm rebuilding my rear wheel, fresh with new spokes, bearings and rubber and I can not for the life of me figure out how to apply enough force to push the sprocket carrier back into the rear hub.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Scott

Use a little bit of soapy water for lube.
