OK, thanks Steve. I've just this minute looked back at your earlier pictures and understand now.

I looked at some of the reviews on Amazon. 3 reviewers complained about clicking with the wheel moving slightly (rotating slightly). Did you encounter such? If so, how to fix. I can see it would be annoying.

Hi Jerry...I had no issues....make sure you buy a Genuine NRG.....I never recommended Amazon.....Funky Power is the UK distributor....iv heard of serious issues with the cheap "look a like" units.....Steve

I followed the Amazon link and looked at reviews....they arnt just for the slim unit they covered all the units Amazon was selling...so ensure you read an actual review for the slim unit....its also down to how its fitted

If you don't want to drill out the rivets in your original wheel and hub (#32) you can buy a new hub on its own from Amazon in the US which is what I did.
