I see you put one of those fiber washers between the spokes and the sprocket...The way I have it with both washers over the hub on the inside is working great -- over 30 miles so far and the chain has never slipped off and the sprocket is very true.
When reading install instructions I have seen both, cut and do not cut 2nd rubber washers. I decided the do not cut sounded correct. What I have not been able to understand is the wording "Tighten Bolts", how tight is that? 12 ft lbs - 30 ft lbs or ???? - think I am getting anal in my old age.
