First problem with the 25mm spacers...

[Ant]

Hi All,

As you may have seen I put the 25mm spacers on my 197, and it looks the nuts!!!

But after some inspection and some rubbing I decided to take the front wheels off to find that the spacers/nuts that are attached to the hub were loose, infact very loose, which is quite alarming!!

The nuts were tightened to the correct torque and as suggested, but this was a worrying find.

The ones on the rear are fine (i suppose there is not as much strain as there is no drive going to them).

I was just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing or can give any advice?

I would love to have the spacers back on the front as looks awesome, but also I'd rather Live!

I don't have the bolt on ones,but to save you having the same issue I reckon I'd thread lock them in.

Do the same as your manual suggests for wheels and recheck the torque when freshly fitted after x miles....

gotta agree with mikeh, you've always got to check them after a few hundred miles , just like you would with new wheels, they always 'bed- in' to some extent, did you put some copper slip on the centres to help them on?abd on the wheels also?
