The axle seals work fine; stainless spacers are great and speedi sleeves are the next best thing. Just a short note about assembly. You need to be sure the axle is drawn over against the left fork leg. This pulls all the parts tight so the spacers stay fixed to the axle (stationary). If the axle is not drawn up fully, the spacers can creep and water will get past the faces that would normally be tight against each other.
Only lightly snug the left pinch bolts, then draw up the axle tight. Final tighten the left pinch bolts then center the right leg and do up it's pinch pinch bolts. If the left pinch bolts are initially too tight, your axle nut could be tight, but not be drawing everything together.

Centering the right leg is always last, there should be no issue with binding.

Hate to wake up such an old thread but I was wondering if anyone had found another alternative for rear wheel spacers. The bad thing about the checkpoint spacers is you only get one rear spacer. This makes no sense when you need two to do the job. Is it best to just buy oem unless you can get alocal shop to make some?

The one you don't get is steel OEM and lasts a long time.
