Re: [DML] Setting Front Wheel Bearings

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do up the hub nut cold till the bearing is tight, and back off to the 
nearest castellation on the locking pin. Then go for a spirited, fast 
drive to warm the bearing up. Repeat procedure, locking it off again, 
with another fast drive. Then with it warm, do up to the point of it 
being tight, then TIGHTEN to nearest castellation, drop pin in to lock 
it up. NB this should still be free when cold.
