JD, couple of things happened some time ago, someone had their wheel in backwarsd after it had new tires installed.
Looking at my frontwheel it has an arrow on the right hand side and one on each of the brake disks ( thanks popgun ), the tire also has an arrow on it, they should all point in the direction of rotation as you probably know.
The shaft is tightened up on the side with the axle bolt first ( is the spacer between the wheelbearings inside the hub in place? ) ( in my opinion just enough so the inner race of the wheel bearings do not spin ), then the two allen bolt clamps done up on that side ( right side in my case ) and FINALLY the other side has the two clamp-bolts done up in that order, otherwise the shaft and the front forks can be mis- aligned and bind up.
The space between the bearing seal and the forks is 10mm on the right and 9.5mm on the left, my wheel spins without any friction from the disks or otherwise.
Without taking the spacers out i cannot remember if they were identical and i also like to put a little grease on the inside of the lip of the seal where it slides over the collars, it makes them last longer and keeps moisture out.
Your drawing is for the abs model, that could be different in the non-abs version.
What do you think is wrong with your wheel and what are you like with a camera if the problem persists?
Probably all known knowledge but i wanted to put it all on one page.
Thanks LR!
