Replacement bearings were identical to worn ones coming out. Who can say what was original?
Measurements were with an indicator on the 0.020-0.030 because I could locate and read externally. Measurements were stacked up to calculate the 0.003-0.005 internal gap.
Figures given are with bearings seated all the way, external shims won't help with the bearing gap and the dropout width is no problem. There is no cone on a cartridge bearing and while I could torque down the lock nuts to close that last 0.005 gap, I don't want to do it because its a ball bearing in a race and preload is normally only used/spec'd for cone/roller bearings.
