I had to use a spacer shim to attach my 7s freewheel onto my 9c Hub, to allow the freewheel to rotate. I used a 1.5mm wide shim from a cassette as a spacer, the shim works and the freewheel now rotates.
I'm a little concerned that this might cause issues down the track due to increased force/leverage on the hub threads with such a narrow shim. Is it reasonable to use the shim for this purpose? The last thing I want is damage to the threads on my new motor.
The last freewheel I removed needed two people and a 1m steel bar to achieve enough torque, despite having used anti-seize compound on the threads at installation. I've used anti-seize compound again this time, is there anything else that can be done to make future removal easier?
