[QUOTE="Spqreddie, post: 136014, member: 1009"] Hello all! I believe I have find a very good compromise for the shimming of the four spindles. all the individual components move freely with no noticeable play, and the big washers can be just rotated by hand. All this whitout lubrication. So I am sure this will even be better when oil or grease will be applied. Trouble is that when inserting the Steering Stem FF33 into the head clip FF1, they are not perfectly concentric! (the steering stem is slightly too on the left so need to force it a bit to the right to get it in the FF1 hole), so this make the hole assembly a bit stiff. It still falls under its on weight so it's not too bad, and probably when lubricated it will be even better, I believe than that I could leave it as it is but still not ideal. I have shimmed the stem as much as possible to the right and is a bit better, but not sure if this is the solution. Some of the links might be bent? and this is why the stem is not pointing perfectly vertical? Or it might be vertical but too on the left as some of the bush too thick and moving all the assembly to one side...? as suggested above, might need to disassemble everything again and get some bars of the right diameter through the eyes and measure everything for straightness.. :-( [/QUOTE]
