while fitting a front wheel I found this spacer fitted to the spindle. None of my others have the lip at the bottom, anyone know what it's from? I wonder if the reverse comstars have a different spacer? can't find any info on these though. internal/external diameter and depth is the same as the normal spacer, total depth is 10mm +3mm for the lip.  |

that looks a little bit like the spacer I'm currently looking for to fit my boomerang rear wheel

Buster, weren't you looking for a spacer for the rear wheel? this won't fit the rear, it is the right internal diameter for the front wheel spindle.
I was just interested in what type of wheel it might be for. I don't need it and will likely never use it if it's no good for comstar or reverse comstar wheels.

yep its rear that I'm looking for and your right I did a bit of picture measuring and thought the internal diameter was too small, back to searching or more likely have one made
