Need help with a judgement call

[SSLance]

So they showed up yesterday... The new brake offset is just a tad the other way from my old setup.



This moves the axle flange less than a 1/8" out from where it was before.

Putting the spacer ring on the axle before pressing the bearing on was a GREAT idea...I should have been doing that long ago, it greatly helped during installation of the axle.

The axles\bearings slid right into place and the brake rotor ended up with plenty of room for the sliding caliper to still work right.

Here is the retainer holding the spacer ring and bearing in place...



After I took the following picture I noticed the stainless cap was loose on the caliper bracket and I cured that issue...but this picture shows how the caliper fits on the bracket with the new brake offset.



The test drive proved successful, no vibrations... Time will tell how well these bearings hold up but for now I'm calling the upgrade a success.
