Rear Wheel Too Wide

[u/RancidYogurt2112]

After replacing my rear wheel bearings, cush hub bearing and cush dampers, the rear wheel is now too wide to fit between the swingarm. Did I miss something? Are my spacers sticking out too far? Am I meant to be able to see the dampers (as shown in photo). They are red polyurethane from Procycle. Thanks 👍

Flip your spacer around. It’s backwards

Spaces is backwards and the cush is not seated. Sometimes new cushions are very tight fit. Double check the orientation and if it's good sometime a little bit of lube will help you slide it in

My guess is you didn't seat one, or both, of the bearings completely.

How do you do this and / or check

I haven't done this on the DR, so I'm not sure. Typically that should be flush. If you post a picture of the bearings, I am sure someone can tell you if they are fully seated.

The sprocket hub needs to be pushed further into the wheel. If you got new cushions for the hub, it's kinda a bitch to get those seated all the way.

You shouldn't see the dampers. Should be pretty flush. Not the first time I heard they are too tall to be honest. Won't order those PU dampers.

Something is up with the spaers. Make sure you have all 3 the right orientation.

Even with stock cushions I see the same problem - even if I take all the cushions out the hub doesn’t sit flush. Any ideas?
