Spengle Aura disc wheel axle conversion

Hello,

Im in the process of converting a disc wheel to fixed using the SPNK 'fixxer' but I would like some help on creating a new axle set up and where I might be able to find certain parts.

What I have is this hollow axle 9mm -

Which is held in place in the hub by this bit and the end dust cap bolt

Will get a new 10mm axle on payday to start it all up.

But what I basically need is a thin wide spacer to hold the bearing in place as to not let it move further in the hub when on the new axle. This should help to distribute the pressure evenly also. Right?

Where do I go about finding an extra wide spacer? It has to be thin 1-2mm

I also need to find some sort of dust cover for the non drive side, I will need to buy some new cartridge bearings as the one I was going to use is for an 9mm axle. the ones are FAG 629 http://www.spainbearing.com/FAG/FAG629/

Any ideas of what I might be able to use as a replacement? Or will I just have to make one with another wide spacer and a normal axle bolt.

One of the important things about this is that most of the bits needed have to be thin, as to not affect the general o.l.d?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge and terminology but I hope you get what Im trying to do and any help would be greatful of any links to parts or knowledge

Thanks in advance

Doesn't the "fixxer" just screw on inplace of the freehub?

You shouldn't need to swap the axel/everything should be drive side?

Wheel is not compatible. Re assemble and sell

Its a different system to the original fixxer, which you just screwed on. http://www.spnkwheels.co.uk/gears-adaptor.php

↑This.

Basically, if you have to ask, it's beyond your capabilities.

Give us all a laugh; show us a close up of the drive side with the freehub off.

"Give us all a laugh"?

Sorry, on your own there.

And about "capabilities", don't watch what I can and can't do.

I would like to see a photo as I have a spengle disc (possibly an aura also?) that someone has successfully fixed. I haven't dared take it apart to see how they did it though :/

Thread from the dead, I know. @BigH , did you ever manage to convert the Spengle disc properly i.e. with a lockring thread?

It ended up in the stash dismantled, its possible with a SPNK fixxer but would require some serious mods, custom axles, bearing holders or custom made bearings I think. Need to give it a go this summer

Cheers! There's one on ebay atm and there aren't many clincher discs so I was thinking about it, hence the question. It does sound like a lot of hassle though, so I guess I won't bid on it. Here's the link if anyone else is interested: http://m.ebay.de/itm/Spengle-Aura-Carbon-Scheibenrad-Triathlon-Bahnrad-Rennrad-/122431407077?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE

Look to get a screw on hub one and glue a adaptor on. I would have done that if I had known It was going to be such a hassle

Thanks for the advise, the one in the auction has a freewheel body so it's not a good option then. Will keep it in mind and look for sth more suitable.
