WTB Six Day Front Axle Spacer Tube

[johnbowman]

I'm trying to find a front axle spacer tube (the part that aligns the bearings in the hub) for a Six Day. I can use either the 4.5 inch (early model with no speedo drive) or the 5 inch (models that have a speedo drive) ones. It's going to be used on an off-road bike for racing. I can make a spacer for the shorter tube to work with 35mm forks.

If anyone has one, I'd appreciate it!

Toolsurfer,

Since I'm still in the rebuilding phase, I check eBay twice a day for parts that I need. I've seen whole wheels, but they are pricey. I saw an ad last night for a spacer tube. The guy has it listed wrong. He's calling it some kind of wheel shaft actuator. Still not cheap.

Thanks,

John

I believe this is the same, listed incorrectly as rear, although you might want to verify the length.

Thanks for the leads! I have located a spacer. I bought the front hub assembly listed from Ohio.
