If you're talking about adding washers or something between the sprocket and the hub, yeah, that's fine. Won't hurt a thing.

Sometimes you can adjust the spacing just by using different spacers or washers on the axle, too, depending on what's on there already.

Dunno what bike you have, but factory V1 front gears have a step on one side, so you can flip it around and change it an 1/8" or so.

Much straighter. Not perfect but if I move the sprocket over any more it is really floating off of the hub. This still has it over the lip just a smooch. It is within my acceptable tolerance so I'm gonna run with it.

The bigger issue right now is really that my bearing keep walking out of the hub, it pulls the other side in at the same time, as I have all the spacers in place inside the hub. I think there might be something off with the hubs allowing things to shift a little under load. Might need some new wheels.

The leleu hubs have a ridged area for the bearings to sit into. It is about 3mm deeper than the actual bearings, and the internal spacers place the bearings right at the ends of the hub.

The bearings are walking out the brake plate side bit the other side only goes in the 3mm then hits the ridge. I press them in so each side is even and the internal spacers are compressed enough to not jiggle around.

Since the bearings dont go allt he way to the back lip they have that room to shift a little.

Is this happening because I dont have my wheel perfectly straight? It looks straight to me, but maybe my eyes are crooked. Is it from forces when applying the brake causing the wheel to get pulled on the brake plate side and wiggle the bearings out?

The leleu sealed bearing conversion from treats uses a shim to get the bearings to fit snug in the bearing spot. Is this where the failure is happening?

Can I put a spot of jbweld on the bearing outer race and shim to help hold them in place?

I like the idea of trimming the spacers down to have the bearings more flush with the hub ridge. I am going to open it up again tomorrow and see how it looks after a 40mi ride I did on it yesterday. By the end of the ride I had a hard time moving the bike from a stop, which has been an affect of the bearings coming out.

I too am thinking that the hub is warped in some way, whether it be from age, use, or abuse. I'm going to end up sourcing some new wheels soon i think.
