Hi all,
I was having trouble with setting the chain alignment and noticed the sprocket would move as I brought the chain up to the correct tension.
Anyways I worked backwards and ended up taking the wheel back out and checking everything was installed correctly.
What I found is that the bearing retainer is clamping down on the bearing but there is a 1-2mm gap between the bearing retainer and the sprocket hub. This allows the hub to 'float' which in turn causes the spocket to tilt slightly when under tension.
Have I explained that clearly? Some photos below to clarify..
Is this normal or should the bearing retainer sit flush with the hub?
I have new All-Balls bearings in and as far as I can tell they are properly seated. I can put my finger in and move the internal spacer around but I can't physically drive the hub-side bearing in any more. The brake side bearing sits flush with the hub.
I can't tighten the retainer down any more as it's seating on the bearing. Have I done something wrong or is this normal?
