Has anyone else experienced bearing movement within the hub itself?
I just installed new bearings in my hubs and I am still waiting for new axle assemblies from Roger but after putting the new bearings in and slapping the old hardware on I noticed that the new bearings turn inside the hubs. Same size bearings too.
Did I over look something here or did I have an old farts moment??
Always something....

do/did the old bearings do the same thing? if not i'd say it's a tolerance issue with the new (possibly not as high quality) bearings.

i have run into this problem occasionally with older parts that needed new cartridge bearings and upgrading the bearing (to japanese-made) fixed it. the last time i got stuff from roger the bearings were not that good of quality (compared to old stuff)- this was over the summer.
