What would cause my barely used green bearing to do this?

There sure is a lot of hoop-jumpin' and 'obligatory but undocumented details' to install bearings that were never recommended, to solve a problem that never existed.

Spacer this, trim that, shim the other, remove the button, install the shim, yak yak yak. This version, that version, install this way or some other.

And that's better than spinning an adjuster once every fifty thousand miles, how? Jesus, what a cluster f**k.


Because the green bearing, if installed correctly in a straight housing is just as good as a tapered bearing without needing to bother with adjustments. They are simple and they work.
