Hi all,
I've finally had some time to rebuild my XB-e with the 7075 parts.
I'm at the stage replacing the read wheel hubs. I have the 10mm rear wheel axles, bearings, and the 7075 hex adapter.
After screwing on the hex adapter and tighten it down, I've found there is a little 'play' or 'tolerance' (sorry for my bad English) in lateral direction. I think its about 0.2/0.3 mm. I didn't use the ring the original had (between the bearing and the wheel mount) since I felt that made it too 'tight' and run less smoother.
So here is my question, is this play 'okay', or is it better to make it tight and then also less smoother?
