hey guys,
ive been riding a kilo tt for 2 years and today came across a great deal on a 2001 fuji track. (the wild red and yellow ones) When I went to put my weinmann dp18s from the kilo on it the back wheel is too wide. I looked it up and i guess it has to do with the spacer but cant find what to do to fix it. So what should I do?

I can't imagine why they'd have different spacing. Is the frame bent?

You can see the spacers in this photo.

Go to the Parktools website. They have all the maintenance guides you could ever need.

This is for working on hubs (http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=105).

They should be the same width.
