rear hub studs
i always fit domes to rims and nylocks to hub,that way you can see the rim to hub is tight and you have the added safety of a nylock holding wheel on . you would need to put some strong excessive force to strip the hub stud by tightening a nylock up to it imho
yes this the way i do it , i,ve got 5 lammies and this is the only one thats had this problemmark wrote:i always fit domes to rims and nylocks to hub,that way you can see the rim to hub is tight and you have the added safety of a nylock holding wheel on . you would need to put some strong excessive force to strip the hub stud by tightening a nylock up to it imho
i do it the other way mate, always have with all my scoots and never had this problem before ,the nylocks are tight on the studs but don,t pull them through ,they just seem to self destruct on the hub stud threads but only ever on this bike my other lammies are fine ?Daggs wrote:Woody, i mean this to help.
The Dome nuts should hold the wheel to the hub, not the nylock nuts.
The nylocks therefore usually hold the split rims together.
As you seem to have this situation reversed. Is it possible you are radically over-tightening the nylocks and damaging the stud threads leading to the studs pulling through the hub?
Don't forget the studs are steel in aluminium.
Sell the f@@king thing and buy a new LML but before you do, get a couple of slices of bread and put the hub between them and see if it tastes like cheese because it sounds like that's what it's made of.
nice one but i can,t go that far yet to buy an lml and its not on the same hub its done it on two completey different hubs ?Stokie wrote:Sell the f@@king thing and buy a new LML but before you do, get a couple of slices of bread and put the hub between them and see if it tastes like cheese because it sounds like that's what it's made of.
not sure of the make of the hubs mate the first one was on the scoot when i got it , the second one i bought from a second hand stall (cos the hub failed on the rideout and they happened to have one so i fixed it there )and the one i,ve just fitted is indian .eibargum wrote:They didnt happen to be 2 FA italia hubs did they, their studs are shite.
