Dear fellow list members: For the long haul, what is a better bearing adjustment-slightly tight or slightly lose on a mid or lower-level loose ball bearing hub such as Normandy,atom, Schwinn approved? (This is not a problem I experience with higher level loose bearing hubs or sealed bearing hubs). I am not looking for optimum efficiency but optimal life. I want to avoid the dreaded broken axle but also avoid brinneling. When I used to set up bikes, they almost universally came with slightly tight bearings-perhaps the manufacturer's knew something. In thank you for your current attention hereto. TomWitkop Rockville, Maryland ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
