Where to find cog spacers?
Hey,

I have an IRO wheel with a track hub. To fix my chainline I want to put a spacer between the hub and the cog. Even if it's a couple of millimeters that will probably help a fair amount. Does anybody know where I can find such a thing? I looked online but couldn't come up with anything. Do they exist?

Thanks

is it just me or does this seem like a bad idea, the hub is made to hold 1 cog and 1 lockring and no more

My cog and lockring don't make contact without a spacer between the hub body and the cog.

So the answer is: "It depends."
