First thing wife mentioned once we got the location! Thanks. Also want to see Los Alamos.

 

I hope it isn't as expensive as the Silverton/Ouray train.

 

Trains rock! We rode the one in Skagway. Still on the old narrow gauge railroad. You can see the hiking trail pounded in the rock from the gold rush era.

 

Hmmm, maybe I can find my calling! 10 tokens to take a drink?? All these years I've been doing it for free!

 

Still hoping I might be able to slip out there. Don't give up yet!

When I do my rear wheel, I set the first bearing as the manual says, against the stop. The second bearing is a little trickier since it has the spacer tube in there. I learned through trial and error that you want the tube to be free with as little slop as possible but not touching either bearing. The important thing to remember is what Mike (Imold) said, minimize the side load on the bearing because the rolling elements do not like to ride on the side of the races and will cause premature failure.

Engineers suck but salespeople who don't tell the engineers the scope of the project suck worse! I find out tonight a 5:30 that the new radio we installed was supposed to have more features enabled than what the engineering staff knew about. So now I have to figure out how to make this thing transmit on two separate frequencies in the 700-800Mhz range poste haste.

Mike I may have time for that Ural ride. Better start now because I heard they aren't too fast.

 

No, you've been paying for it!

 

Chuck has the wheel bearings in properly, he's trying to figure out the depth of the cush drive bearings.

 

Isn't that what we were talking about?

 

But on the driven pulley according to Chucky.

 

According to Chuck, the drive pulley has bearings in it as well, if I understand him correctly.
