thats why i quoted you???? you said " Neither of the Profile bearings
are going to be an exact fit." and there is only one....im just calling
you on that since you didnt seem to know, thats what happens when you
ride the same muni for 4 years.

well i do....ive ordered 5 profile hubs, built them all and sold them
all.... ive seen more bearings than i ever want to again.

what do you mean "probobly" i rode with you several times in Oregon,
California and Nevada....."probobly" give me a brake!

another oversight, there is no slop, the bearing doesnt distort..do you
really think that i would build a muni,ride it, and ride it hard if that
was going to happen? (see next comment)

i am a perfectionist too and that would be a huge deal...thats why im
posting my expierance that its NOT a problem and using Profile sized
bearings in a 03/04 kh frame is fine without a shim. I WOULD KNOW, you
would not...you've never had one...you have rode the same KH pro for
years and never tinkered with the Taiwanise bearing holders.

Bingo!!! thats what i did. i tryed the shims and the bearings fit
better without them...if the choice is 40mm however the shims are needed
and work better since they are a little thicker and more robust. (yes i
have done that set up too)
you have excellent advice john, but experiance is the best teacher.
