Konenzentrierung: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

To loosen this type of hub, I usually do have to loosen the left locknut from its cone, loosen the cone, then re-tighten the locknut. To tighten it, the two 17's on the locknuts do the job quickly and easily.

I have made a special tool for cone adjustment on QR hubs, consisting of a skewer and a spacer bushing to allow the handle end of the skewer to press against the end of the axle, leaving the locknuts unobstructed. This is very handy, and saves a good deal of time in the shop. Since it presses directly on the ends of the axle, you can make the actual adjustments while the axle is under compressive load from the quick release. This has not previously been possible.

The spacer bushing consists of an old, worn-out cone, with a short length of axle screwed into it, so it fits reasonably snugly onto the skewer. The quick-release body presses on this old cone; the stub of axle (which you can't see, because it is entirely inside the old cone) presses on the end of the axle. This tool is also useful for truing wheels if you use a truing stand, such as the Park, that doesn't compress the axle. This tool can remove the play from the bearings, and still allow you to install the wheel into the truing stand.
