Flange Offset Spacers

Offset brake disc flanges, sprocket and belt wheel flanges.

The need came with the first wide tire conversions of the 1990s. The 8 inch rim was quickly spoked into the Softail hub, a wider swingarm was also available or one was welded, but on the original flanges the brake disc and sprocket sat way too far inside the wheel. The distance between the original flange and the place where the flange would have to be was so large that nothing could be done with spacers. So the solid solution was offset flanges, offset washers or whatever you call them. The principle is: eliminate 20 thin shims with one solid block. The good parts from W&W Cycles' selection are available from Bates, CPV or even Rick's, thickness always rising 5 mm. So you solve the common alignment and distance problems.
