rear wheel spacers

[BONEY]

Hi, anybody used Captive Wheel Spacers advertised on e-bay, do they work?

nope, but added them to my future purchase list, struggled like **** on my own the other day when getting the rear wheel back on.

I didn't think it was that bad ?

Think the trick to the rear wheel is having a little ramp of wood underneath rather than the captive spacers.

I've got the long bellypan, literally 10mm clearance between the tyre and bellypan so I struggle to hold the wheel in the right place when putting the spindle in.

As 1098 said, 15-20mm plank,mdf or the like makes it easier but cant say ive had a problem up till now. Ive got full length bellypan + 200section tyre. Maybe its yr stand height?

Or..... my foot works for me.
