. Maybe he's talking about "Timken" BRAND (Timken/Fafnir), not Tapered Roller design

I packed the bearings good and installed letters facing outwards. This is on a bike with only 7300 miles

... and the install pressure is on the outer race of the bearing not the inner right?
What are the bearing numbers you're using?
Presses into the I'd of the bearing I've been reading that you can flip the installer to the flat side to put the pressure onto the outer race instead of the inner race Read on here that these fit 25mm axles for our bikes or is it wrong?

Those are the Correct bearings

Flip Both "installers" around so the Flat side is against the bearings. Tighten it up...you can't "Over" drive the bearings because you have eliminated the "installers" face recess which allows you to "Over" drive the outer races unless you are careful and "sneak" up on it
You are still putting the "Driving" force on the Outside Race like you were before, but you now are eliminating the "installers" face recess
Is it a NEW or Existing installation...Did you use / re-use a bearing shim under the Primary Bearing side?
i bought the bike with those wheels already on it it requires an installation kit specifically for that wheel or else you can't install it. When I removed the bearings last time there was a shim beneath the primary bearing. Looking at the install kit sheet online it came with only one shim that was to be installed beneath the primary bearing

Well this wasn't here last time:l friction Bearing only has about 150 to 200 miles on it
I'm from Chicago and took a trip to Milwaukee Saturday the front end started making grinding noises on the way back about 3/4s of the way home but was hard to hear because it was raining heavy on the way back and I wear a full face with ear plugs I'm glad I made it home without incident
Notice the rubbing on the bearing also the inner race feels loose the primary side shows no indication of this as well
Is the inner axle spacer supposed to move if it was properly installed? Notice I can move the axel spacer up and down you can see it right above the bottom of the inner race
