Thanks for all the help guys. The best advise I could give myself would be to do the work, figure it out on my own, and learn from the experience. Which I do most of the time.

But I have to tell you reading the forums, asking some questions, and getting some advise has saved me a lot of trial and error and mistakes, so I can focus more time on racing!

One question though.. Should there be crush tubes between the bearings in the rear hub? Manual does not show them. I converted to the Tresrey rear hexes and used the silver an copper shims that came with the kit, but I noticed if I tighten the wheel too much the axle binds and is notchy. This only occurs on one side. I loosened up the play between the hex and the hub and that seems to help. Bearings seems fine and smooth. Has anyone taken out the shims so the pin sits up against the hex? That way it would get rid of the pressure on the bearings and hub when I tighten the wheel.
