    3D Printed Tool for Hub Shimming/Setup

    Yes with the cut hub if your off as too tight or too loose you have to pull it back apart and correct with shims or remove shims. I still like the cut off hub way even if I have to go back in. I had to do all six of mine and after the second one I got faster and did not mind going back in.

    Looks like a good plan. Don't know if you plan to design it with all the mounting holes but if it is strong enough then it would seem like we would only need the eight to hold in the cross and gears. Believe when setting up the hub we could remove the cross O rings for the set up and replace...
