dont put in the rubber o-rings. If you got a manual check it, it will show you how to stagger the steels.

 

If they are stock fibers, which...sounds like they are...he has to use the rubber rings. They will have too much play if not.

All you have to do is rotate each one roughly 30 degrees. They don't have to be exact or precise...just close enough.

Dajo, i've ran stockers without o-rings, no problems here... Other information i'll stand behind tho :biggrin:

Odd...

I worked on a bike that the guy removed the orings, put a stocker back on and it made a terrible clatter...he neglected to tell me he removed them until WAY later in the job...

 

Racked my brain big time, inner and outer hubs looked ok, basket had slight grooving, not too much, every thing looked good. Had him buy a new set of fibers and steels, and by looking at the new fibers something was just off...

 

Measured them both and sure enough the stockers have a bigger ID than the aftermarket.

The stocker fibers and steels weren't smoked, measured within spec...

 

I put the aftermarket in, no more noise...and to this day he's still riding it...was a few years ago.

 

weird....

 

I'm not saying you're wrong, but after measuring them up...I can't see how they won't clatter without that O Ring there, I mean there's a mm or two of difference that has to be made up...fluid alone can't cushion that much.
