[QUOTE="Michael Vane-Hunt, post: 150043, member: 1067"] I had the problem of the spokes touching the back of my new Shadow brake drums, the spokes had made little dents in the back of the drums. I got all four drums skimmed where the spokes were touching. Not much needed to be removed. The drums were thick enough to make no structural difference to them. After rebuilding the wheels I can slide a feeler guage between the spokes and drums. Done 30 or 40 thousand miles and no problems so far. I built the wheels up as mentioned in Shane's post #53 and checked the runout again after the drums were fully installed and tightened up. I also check the the 499 nuts periodically as well as the sprocket 91 nuts. [/QUOTE]
