Guys can anyone help me with this? I'm trying to find a more local source for these Stainless washers to go behind my dropouts. I can't find them anywhere other than ebikekit.com which will be $20 just for shipping to the UK. All the ones I have are way too thick and result in excessive spreading of the dropouts. Someone must be selling these in the UK!

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

I usually just use ordinary washers ?

Sometimes I don't need any it depends on if the casing fouls the forks or not.

Yes, unless they are tagged to stop the shaft rotating in the dropouts ordinary washers are fine for packing out...

Yes NRG "packing out" that's the word.

lol its early good morning all :p

My EBrompton has those and they make nice anti rotation units not that you really need them with a Tongxin though.



The above shows both packing out washers (a lot before I trimmed the roller brake boss off lol) and the very neat little anti rotatation washers on the outside of the fork drop outs.

Thanks for your help guys. The kit was ordered from ebikes.ca and last time I ordered a kit from them I did get the washers in question. I'll see what sort of result I get from my email to them and maybe look at using normal washers.

Thanks again
