Well I've finally got my rebuilt wheels back.
When I got the bike the front wheel was tight (binding) I put it down to standing for a good while.
When I stripped the hubs down I made drawings of all the parts & the order they were in.
I've built the wheels back up for the front to still be binding.
I removed the front brake plate & "shimmed" the spindle to the thickness of the brake plate, the wheel spins lovely without the brake plate.
I've a feeling it's down to the wheel spacers, as I said I've put them back in the order I removed them so I'm thinking that they were maybe in the wrong order when I got the bike.
I've been looking for a diagram of the wheel spacers front & rear but can't find one, can anyone help please?
