Scott Henley Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 So after replacing the xt60’s on my ACM I’ve put about 60 miles on it . I’ve noticed a fair amount of back and forth play in the wheel while riding and when I just rock it back and forth while powered on. It feels as if the shell itself is moving . I can hear the plastic creak as it moves fore and aft . The nuts are right and so are the screws holding the shell to the footplate “bars?” So I’m assuming it’s a shim issue . Doesn’t seem like I can purchase them anywhere. anyone have experience finding them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Marty got his from @Jason McNeil (ewheels.com). Here's his video about the procedure: edit: Here's the Monster video where he mentions ewheels. I guess you can get ACM/msuper V3 ones there too.

Here's his video about the procedure: I spoke to Joey at Ewheels and he said they are only available to Ewheels customers due to such a limited quantity . (Meaning customers who bought a GW from them and need to replace the shims in THAT unit) . I may just try to tighten them up better without disassembly if that’s possible .

That’s @Brad Webster right.? It might just be more work than I’m willing to take on. I did tear down the unit to re solder some blown connections but complete diaseembly seems a bit more difficult.

I wont lie. its a hassle to do.., but you might just have to loosen the nut and push the shims towards the axel before tightening again. maybe its just loose and not worn.

There are flywheel keys installed to keep the nuts tight though . And it’s got about 700mi on it . So worried they could be worn . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about this response... @Jason McNeil it’s perfectly fine . I didn’t mean to stir up any trouble . Joey has been more than helpful and friendly. And I’m super excited to get the wheels he’s been hanging on to for me . (Waiting for me to pay for that is) I figured I’d they are in low quantities it was an understandable response since The wheel I got from you guys was a KS.

Not trouble at all, I'm sure we can help you out, we get regular supplies for parts from GW, it ought to be no trouble adding some more if necessary.

Thanks @Jason McNeil, just spoke to Joey again. I’ll tear this unit down and have a look at the shims ...if need be I’ll get up with one of you to send me some . Really hoping it doesn’t come to that but afraid due to the mileage on it they could very well be worn and not just loose . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess by now it’s common knowledge that the new iterations of KS wheels are pretty bomb proof and require very little to no maintenance. But there is just something about a GW wheel , when it’s performing at its best , that kinda makes the repairs needed feel like a labor of love . 14 hours ago, Marty Backe said: Glad that some of my videos come in handy sometimes.

Gotholm Syndrome Though the one thing about the GWs that's really nice, is their simple build. You can do a lot yourself, just look at what @Rehab1 did. Not sure you could mod other brands as extensively as GWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And doubt I’ll ever need to. ? But what I do know is that it’s a much more “involved” process . Heck I just did a minor repair( or maybe not so minor ?) on my ACM and I had never had any experience prior . The simple build parameters made it pretty light work over all.
