I’ve read where some people have had luck replacing the stock 1mm “shims” in the V-wheel assemblies with .032 fiber washers, but I can’t understand why? I’m picturing the way these things are put together and I can’t see how it would provide any advantage at all.
Can someone draw me a picture (figuratively or literally) to explain the advantage?
Not up to a picture, but AIUI, the problem is that some V-wheels are out-of-spec w/ too-thin races, or the washers/shims used in them are too thick, resulting in the plate shifting back and forth as the wheel shifts from side-to-side. The fiber washers are solid enough to hold things in place, but compressible so as to not cause this problem.
I found the answer after I posted this, but that is a MUCH clearer and more condensed explanation, thanks!
