Spacers - advice please
Well, after the episode with one of my rear spacers parting company with the hub on the motorway, I'm currently not using them as the bolts that attached it to the hub have stretched.
But I did like the look of 20mm spacers on the rear and I'm thinking about getting replacement bolts (or maybe a complete set of new spacers) as well as spacers for the front wheels. But, here are a few questions: 1. If I buy new bolts, where from and what spec? 2. How do I know what torque setting to use and should I use a locking compound of some sort on the threads? 3. If new spacers, what should I be looking for. Any recommendations? 4. What width for the front spacers? 5. 20mm always looked perhaps a little too wide on the rear. Should I go for 15mm?
