[QUOTE="eharris, post: 108893, member: 3585"] After some time with the micrometer I measured up the nuts, spacers etc (I checked the two E80 off the battery tray and a couple of spare H59/1 that I found) and juggled the shims about until I have a few thou of preload on the bearing but now only 10thou overhang on the end of F39/2 (at one end, the other end is flush). The biggest problem I'm having here is that the shims are both controlling the pre-load on the bearings and making sure that the nuts come out flush with the ends of F39/2. Where as in the wheels, there's enough flexibility in the RFM/Forks to cope with the variation in length as you shim the bearings. [/QUOTE]
