These don't seem to be the best of friends at the moment on my 906. I'm having a hard time keeping the wheel in position and last night I was braking hard coming down a hill and the wheel twisted causing the back end of the bike to wander across the road, thankfully it realigned when I released the brake. I guess this is similar to problems people get with quick release front wheels and disk brakes, except there are no lawyers lips on the back.
This wasn't a problem with a new chain as the spindle was almost as far forward as it would go, any movement would be slight and not be noticed. Now I've moved the spindle back a few mm it's becoming quite a problem. I'm doing the nuts up pretty tight, I'm not light handed and I'm more likely to cause damage by over tightening things. However it needs to be loose enough that I can get it undone with the 6" adjustable wrench I carry on the bike.
I'm not sure if the nuts are vibrating loose and then the spindle is moving or if the nuts are tight but loosen off when the spindle is wrenched forwards, I suspect the latter.
Is there any way to combat this?
I'm thinking of two options but maybe there's something better I haven't thought of.
1. Have the wheel as far forwards as it will go and use a chain tensioner, I'm not sure where I can fit it to yet.
2. use filler in the gaps for the spindle to rest against.
I have the feeling there should be a better way.
