LWFF wheel getting progressively loose

Hello. Maybe someone has a suggestion here that does not require major surgery on my LWFF wheel (original model). The main shaft seems to be getting progressively more loose - it has movement "up/down" - not the typical wiggle when the wheel is loose. I have already tightened the main bolt under the wheel's center cap. That did not cure the problem. I would maybe be interested in one of Jan's ball bearing kits (if that would fix it) or some other solution that would make the wheel more durable. Im in Atlanta, Ga. (USA) I was wondering if anyone has ordered the ball bearing kits from the USA and how it worked out? Other ideas? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

Hi, Is the play axial (in the shaft direction)? If so, something broke inside. If the play is lateral, something is worn out heavily. For getting feedback about the BB-coversion, check out either the feedback-section on the b.m. webpage or post your question in the LWFF-forum. JensSchumi BTW: Whatever play you have in your wheel, the conversion will fix it. On Mon, 29 Jan 2001 13:23:54 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:
