Anyone perhaps ever successfully fixed profile crankarm wobble with tinfoil?

IF you can find Teflon plummer tape, I've used that in the past. It's not permanent fix but it helps

I was just going to suggest this and then I clicked next page and saw you beat me to it. I fixed hub wobble with it in a Hazard clone cassette. I had run it loose by accident which flared the bearing seat. The teflon tape made it stop wobbling for at least a year if not longer. I know the wheel was still going a year after I sold it too, don't know if it wobbles now though.

Should do the same thing on crank splines. And bolts that come loose - although don't use much there.

Profile hub problem.

I've replaced the original axle in my mini cassette for a brand new 3/8 female axle, put it all together as the instructions on the Profile website says.

But when I tighten it all up and put the wheel in my frame and tighten it up, the driver spins like a fixed gear. I'm confused and it's driving me insane. Help?

Is the washer between driver bearing and hub bearing big enough?

TeeMorrison · « **Reply #484 on:** November 28, 2012, 06:32:27 AM »

Hmm, that could be the problem. I'll take it apart and have another go at it.

Just realised, I'm missing the driver shims according to this.

I've seen a 8-flat-8 done one on them. It did have a quick layer of wax though.

Word. Thanks dudes. I'll probably give it ago. Its mad steep that's why I asked first. Its already claimed a few people on skateboards and bikes.

It's seen quite often, but I wonder if it's safe to run a Challenger upside down?!

Sasha · « **Reply #491 on:** December 01, 2012, 02:07:37 PM »

Probably the same as running any other top load stem upside down. Will be fine.

Does anyone know what size and thread pitch the integrated seatclamp bolt in fly frames are? I remember reading on here that the B6 brake lever bolts worked, but I can't find out what size those are.
