rear bearing
I hate asking stupid questions but I have fitted new bearings. .I was careful that the bearings sat down on the step on the inside of the hub, but
when I have tighten the shaft up the bearing is very stiff. To stiff to turn by hand but a spanner turns the hub faily easily. Should I strip it all
down again???

Yes.
If it's that stiff without having had heat/distortion etc. it's not going to get any better.
Are you sure it's square in the housing?
Is it the correct size compared to the old one - even microns can affect smooth running?
Is the new bearing exactly the same configuration from to back as the old one etc. etc?
HTH.

Yeh I knew that really just thought I would check. Maybe a bit of grit underside. Oh well off it comes.
