Rear wheel rotation stiffens up when tightening axle problem.

Good work Ted.
Its a skill that used to be genuinely labelled "Mechanical Fitter" in which the person assembling etc had to be adaptive with approach to competently build assembled machinery.
What could be "fettled" aspect of structural, mechanical and metallurgy, all part of training to cope with various components from disparate scource being built into one machine.
Quite a valued occupation, when we used to make things in this country :)

Ted, you have just completed something a younger mechanic would fail at mate.
By the way the chain whilst new was not an expensive one

It's marked DID on the links so I'm happy with it to go back on - it's not going to see much mileage in my ownership.
My target date was to have it running for my birthday - I've missed that by two days already. As I have my 400 to use I'm in no hurry to get it finished this month - it's still not very warm in my garage either.

It's 23C "up the smoke" in the great metropolis today.
Sweltering darn sarf ;D

Good fettling Ted. Sounds like you’re getting close just as the weather is picking up👍
I’ve previously been confused by the interaction of the spindle clamping and bearing fitment on other bikes. . Inner races spin easily after bearing fitment but then are pressed against the spacer tube by tightening the spindle. I’ve changed bearings thinking they were tight only to find they were fine once removed. Am I missing something?
