Default An Iexpensive End to the Galling Problem
With pindrive wheels there is a valid concern regarding the metal transfer (galling) between the knockoff and the wheel itself, this is nothing new and much bandwidth has been exhausted cussing and discussing this unfortunate circumstance faced by those with this type of fitament. I have given some thought to and spoken to some individuals and would like to throw this out for your feedback. How many of you that have these wheels be interested in a thin reusable cone shaped metal washer that would be sandwiched between the Aluminum knockoff and the wheel that would eliminate the galling issue.

Pro & con thoughts..............
