rear bearings and brake

I went ahead and installed one bearing so that I could measure the length that my spacer would need to be. Sure enough, it needs to be .014 inches longer to not bind. So my new bearings would have had a shortened life. I’ll get some .015 shim stock and make a shim.

Check to see if some automotive valve spring shims won't get you there. I have a few, 15mm x 32mm and 22mm x 35mm.
