The tapered rollers I've seen pics of all look like the cone angle is overly sharp, which would wedge the rollers tightly into the races. I think they should be flatter. Balls look more relaxed, like they'd accept loads equally well from all reasonable angles. > chain and sprockets etc, plus a couple of on-the-road episodes. > > All the best, Waz http://www.garagenight.tv
