I've just converted and rebuilt a quick release disc hub into a solid axle bolt-on fixed gear rear, perfectly spaced for chainline etc.
I have 20mm of spacers on on one side and 15mm of spacers on the other, between the respective cone and locknut.
Now how tight does the locknut have to be against the spacers and cone? I was a bit worried, if it is too loose, could the cone on right hand side not push against the bearings and seize up the wheel while riding or am I not seeing it right?
Cheers
