- I'm probably making suggestions that you already considered but are the bearings in new/good condition.? Are the bearing races fully and squarely "seated" in the hubs? Hugh Barber Hollister, CA '73

- Thanks for your thoughts, but yes & yes. My question really is, how much movement should there be from the wheel when one grasps it in the 12 and 6 o'clock position if the bearings are properly prel
