Got a pair of wheels secondhand, but I can't get the lockring on. My lockring looks all right but maybe I need a new one, however the lockring threads on the hub look a lil iffy especially near the edge; is there anything I can do to remedy this?

You do know there there are two lockring standards, ISO and Campag (Sheldon has the details). Are you sure you have the right kind?

I did not know that, I just picked up a campag ring from Condor and I'll see if that makes any difference.

Is there a single standard for anything?!

thanks!

I was trying to keep things simple for the OP. :-)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
