Need some help with rear wheel

[ToyOdie]

I'm installing my rear wheel after getting a new tire. This is something I have done many times over the years but something isn't right this time. When I start to tighten the axle nut (with a 3/8 ratchet) the wheel gets tight to the point that it won't rotate easily. I have checked to book to make sure I had the spacer on the right side of the caliper bracket and everything in the right order. Not sure what might be the problem. I have tried several times with the same result.

You have done the same thing most of us have done, that spacer washer is not in the correct place. look at the manual and you will see the correct location.

I don't remember the specific place so I don't want to tell you. Just know I did the same thing.

 

Good luck

That was the first thing that I checked. I just got off the phone with cowpuc and he was very quick to identify the problem. The spacer on the differential side of the wheel is not there. Highly suspect it is on the balancing machine where I had the tire mounted. I'll be going down there tomorrow to see if I can find it or I'm going to have to order one.

Now that we have Toy's mystery solved, I will do another one of my hi-jacking stunts and lead us down another path:big-grin-emoticon: (usual apology for the hi-jack here @ToyOdie..

While I was playing on the site Toy PMed me with his question about the wheel - important stuff to say the least.. Problem was a "P.M." message did not appear on my screen (still hasnt - Toy told me in our phone conversation that he had sent one - that is how I knew to check my P.M.'s after I chatted with him).. It seems like in the past I have had the message appear BUT maybe I am dreaming or really am a madman like Billmac keeps saying I am:big-grin-emoticon:

Anyone know if I have accidently flipped a switch in the control board or something?

2 weeks ago was the last time I got a PM. It popped up in front of me just like always.

Hey sorry I missed your call this evening. I was at soccer practice with my daughter. Glad you got help quickly.

My little Chinese guy is not allowed to take breaks. He is always working.

 

If you go to "settings" top right corner of screen.

Then "General Settings" in bar on left of screen.

There is a section for your preferences for PMs.

Thanks Jeff,, as you know I just replied to your second PM, got a pop up message for it but not from your previous one:think:.. Same thing happened in Toy's case.. Like its only notifying every other one or something.. I checked in the setting as you mentioned and I have pop up for notification enabled.. This is strange, maybe my chinese guy caught some kind of a skipping virus:Bunny:

Went into settings and didn't change anything. Just went to the bottom and saved changes. I had 4 notifications show up. Maybe I needed to get the little guy's attention.

Called the shop that mounted an balanced my wheel. Sure enough the collar was still on the balancing machine. Picked it up after work and got the bike back together. Thanks for the help guy's.

Yep... Had the same thing happen here only it was laying on the shop floor....

When you find and install the spAcer match the chamfer ends together or there will be a rattle in the rear end .

Just had the same thing happen to me, went back to the dealer and they had not even noticed my spacer on their machine. Thanks all.
