I wasn't going to say it, because he "solved" (or "hacked"...sorry, just perspectives) his issue and became somewhat of a moot point, but now that you have...Yeah

I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but nevertheless it happened. A good illustration why mechanics/technicians say "bring it in, I'll look at it". It's just easier that way.

Hi there yes i did look at the bearings. And the spacer in the middle was snug. I rode it today and i am guessing it was rubbing since i got the bike. Its perfect now and brakes work great. It stops well and rolls free. I had it up to 93 today on the highway and also rode through some corners. Feels good!!
