Hey all, just finished installing new bearings into a new repro rear hub for my CL100. They were a bastard to get in, and I'm worried because they're pretty tight.
Like, you can't spin the inner race with a finger without exerting some force.
However, when you stick a finger into a race on either side of the hub and "roll" it on the workbench kinda like a rolling pin, the bearings roll silent and smooth and have a little bit of momentum to them, like 1/2 to 3/4 of a rotation when you let up.
Did I F it all up or is it good to go?
I know the front hub is G2G, you can spin the inner races easily with a finger and there's no slop in the spacer. I just can't really get a straight answer if any tightness is acceptable or not. Heck, even the bearing manufacturers don't seem to tell you.
