Wheel Spacer Spacers

Maybe this trick is only new to me… I wish I thought of it years ago.
It’s about a 1 min video on using a socket to hold your spacers in place while you wrestle with mounting the wheel.

CB750K5 - Slowly putting back together.
GS1100LT - Nicely upgraded over the years.
CB400F - Production lightweight race bike.
Cl175k7 - Gp200 race bike.

Good tip! I’ve used the tacky grease method for many years.

I have a set of “captive spacers” on one wheel for my track bike they’re so good I want to turn some on the lathe for all my bikes!
