So, this last weekend was my first attempt at replacing the rear tire. It was agony, but I *think* I was successful.
The rubber wedge shaped dampers fell out as I removed the rear tire from the shaft, and I wasn’t entirely sure how to put them back in. I reasoned that the little rubber strips between the wedges acted as sort of a bridge over the splines and installed them that way. Did I do it right? My rear wheel hasn’t fallen off yet while I’ve been riding, but that doesn’t mean I’m not screwing something up.
