Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Wheel Axle Spacers Sources ?

Looking for a good source for Wheel Axle Spacers ?
Have a Phil rear fixed wheel that I need to convert to 120mm from 135mm. May also put on a 126mm bike so would be nice to get a Spacer Kit ? Have seen a few on amazon and ebay looking for other options to consider.

Have you tried contacting Phil Wood?
https://phil-wood-co.myshopify.com/

They are a US company, and I believe make most of their components.

I'm not a pro mechanic, but I've taken plain steel washers and drilled them out to 10 mm.

Good idea, just email service.
Did not see any such tool on the website

Yes if I could only get the spacer off the axle then cutting would be an option but Id probably replace with appropriate machined spacer

You have two threads. Notes I was reading seemed to indicate an Allen Wrench would remove those end caps.

But, I would also go to the source for replacement parts.

Today, of course, is likely a holiday.

Glad to report that service@philwood.com sent a fast reply stating they can fix and also sell replacement endcaps for the wheels

To do it your self DIY will need 8mm socket to remove endcaps and then a vise with soft grips, etc ...

See https://www.velocipedesalon.com/foru...val-51362.html
for more details on some DIY advice
