    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rear wheel Bearing Placement

Charmayne and I installed new rear wheel bearings on her bike today.




Although they feel like they are seated, the bearing in the sprocket cover won't seat properly when installed to the wheel and comes out to the edge when the spacer inside the carrier pushes against it:




I'm thinking the bearing on the left side of the wheel might not be seated as well as we think and hoped for another set of eyes. Does this look like it's seated to anyone?




If it's not, does anyone have a suggestion as to what size socket I can use to finish it off (saw the suggestion in a search but not the size)? Someone Steve knows suggested 1 1/4" socket but I don't have one and am not sure if that's the right size.
 
Use a piece of 1/2" all thread and nuts/washers to pull the bearings in tight. It is way easier on everything than a socket and hammer.

You may have one of the spacers in the wrong place.
