| Subject: | Front Tire Installation |
Has anyone run into this situation? Either my U-1009 Axle is to
short, or my U-1023 spacers are to long. You can see by the attached
pictures that I am about 1/8" short on the axle.
When I went to install the wheel, and torqued the AN6, the wheel
didn't turn very well. All of the pressure appears to be placed on
the spacers as opposed to the axle.
I verified the wheel halves are tight against each other.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

That is the way it is supposed to be. The spacers are supposed to put a preload
on the bearings so the axle doesn't turn. In the past I have turned down the
axle w little to increase the preload. The wheel will not turn very freely, but
you want to make sure the spacers do NOT turn, but rather the wheel turns while
the bearings don't.

Easily cured with a Matco axle in place of Van's home brew solution.
Lets you set preload on bearings independent of the nose gear forks.
