Message: <blockquote data-quote="turkeyssr" data-source="post: 114672">I'm (slowly) putting together (finally) my MB, and I'm finding that converting from a quick release to a nutted axle, that it's difficult to get the rear bearings tight with no play.  Any suggestions?  I've been using various parts for the conversion.  I had a *new* tandem axle that gives me the spacing I need to mount the drive gear for the axle, while also providing enough space for the cassette on the right side.  I'm using the new cones from the QR axle on the new tandem axle.I need to take the rear wheel apart yet AGAIN, to see if I can get rid of the play.  I find it odd that there would be any play, but then again I don't really know the culprit.Anyone have any conversion issues like this going from quick release to nutted?Oh, how I wish I had cartridge bearings!!Thanks!--John</blockquote>
