  1. I just removed the bearing caps and removed the frame to prepare for
    painting. I immediately noticed a thin metal "band" around each
    bearing; actually, the band only goes about 90% around, and is easily
    moved (independant of the bearings) or removed. Why is this on the
    bearing(s)? And does it matter where the gap in the band is positioned,
    before reinstalling the main caps? 😕

  2. Its more than likely a bearing spacer so the bearings will fit the
    frame.

  3. its a bearing spacer, Summit holders are 43mm and the bearings are 42mm

    put the gap in the middle of either the top or the bottom of the
    holders, doesnt matter.
