The CBR 450 custom build - part 5 - fitting a street bike rear wheel into a dirt bike swingarm

Fitting a street bike wheel into a dirt bike swingarm.
It should be easy right?...

I've been following this build for a few months now and I've been properly impressed with the quality of your problem solving skills. BUT! When you whipped out that hole saw I was 100 percent sure you just lost a wheel. I then got hope when you stopped in time to save the wheel. Then you whipped out a die grinder and I thought no way that'll be true... you proved me wrong. Just wanna know what you used as a crush spacer between the sprocket carrier bearing and the wheel bearing.

Yeah I know, the wheel bearing wasn't my best work, I'm not proud of it. I will most likely get another wheel and get it machined properly, then use this one as a spare. The crush spacer between the sprocket bearing and wheel bearing is just a piece of 26od/20id aluminium tube that the axle slides through.
