Jack, I had a good look at the new axles and the sizing is a bit off.

Just below the splines and basically where the inner bearing sits, the axle measure 40.04mm. Then it goes to 40.02mm but right at the outer end of the axle, basically the last 7mm it goes to 40.06mm

That means that my bearing was pressing over 16thou then to 8 thou and then the shoulder of the bearing was pressing on to 24thou as I did the tension up on the nut.

Just too bloody tight.

So it goes to show. I spent the big bucks on what is probably the best product out there with Bob's axles, but even then, they need to be checked and adjusted a little.

I threw it on the lathe and using emery strips I linished off the high spots to give me 40.02mm all the way. So I have a press fit of 0.00078 thou, just under your guidelines.

The replacement rotor will come today so I'll report in on how it all goes together.

Still waiting for a check length on the spacer tube, seems no one has one laying around or that measurement onfile anywhere.
