Yeah there are some very thin spacers that go on the end of the shaft before the c-clip goes on. I don't think I even have mine any more and AFAIK it doesn't hurt to NOT have them. There should not be very much of a gap, even without the spacers. Just a few thousndths. Any more than that and I'd guess something is not installed correctly.


Ummm... yes, you ARE supposed to have those shims installed
if the specs are out and it CAN hurt something.
If I remember correctly, there should only be 0 - .005" gap.
Anything more than that is supposed to be shimmed.
I think the shims come in .005, .010, .020, & .030".
The shims keep the axle from bumping in and out of the hub
and keeps the spine at the correct depth in to the hub spline.
If that spline is not at the correct depth, it can chew
the end of the axle up... That generally doesn't happen
unless the clip comes off (which it can do from to much gap
causing the axle to slap the clip)...
