as the rim turns

Thursday, November 16, 2006

I would like to read some info on actual details of fitting a tone ring to an old 3 ply Rb-100 I have. Such as the cross-section dimensions of the cut and whether the flange of the tone ring should touch the rim as the upper tone ring comes in contact with the top cut of the rim.  I am going for a fairly loose fit, maybe not "fall off" but right at it.

Thanks to the Hangout!  My first post!
