A bearing fitment problem.

[Gordon]

Well...I checked the chain ring bearings...those - the ones already installed - are correct. I didn't goof up there. The bearings I'm having trouble with, won't swap with them. So yeah. Maybe I somehow...careful as I thought I was...installed the wrong bearings in the back hub. So I'll take the hub out and try swapping. For what its worth - the bearings I'm fiddling with are marked Bendix F-5272. And as I type this... I realize the fact that they're marked "Bendix" means they belong in the Bendix hub. Maybe I'm too old to play with this stuff...I'll report back. Thank you, gentlemen.

Don't be too hard on yourself, we all screw up once in awhile. And look on the bright side - you will probably never make this same mistake again!

We've all been there...trial and error-that is how you learn!

I saw what you wrote in the other coaster brake thread, so there won't be any scolding. You know what you did--don't do it again.

Ive learned the hard way, always take pics when breaking down.

Pictures AND only work on one thing at a time.
