I am trying to put a 6 speed freewheel on an axle, but when I mount the freewheel the distance between the smallest cog and the right side dropout is larger than in other bikes that I have. Is there such a thing as a freewheel spacer that I can use to keep the freewheel from threading all the way in? This might be a problem in that I am trying to use a Shimano freewheel on a Suntour hub. I only need to get the freewheel a bit bit closer to the derailleur to get the shifting to be closer to original spec. I am also trying to accomplish the same thing by using a slightly narrower spacing than the original Suntour spacers came out to, but it is closer to the slightly narrower spacing that the frame seems to be originally designed for.
