This is not a technical sort of a super-whizzbang-seeker -of-Divine-wisdom sort of question and I do not want to know about microns of extruded telonite sulphate, so I am posting it here and not in the technical bit.
As follows:
For decades I've been replacing and adjusting wheel barings and headsets.
I've done lots and lots, on bicycles and motorcycles, with balls, needle rollers and... No, just those two.
Sometimes it works a treat at the first time of asking and sometimes I'm cursing and pinching fingers and generally getting it serially wrong for ages before I achieve the right amount of roll (or turn) with the right amount of absence of wobble or similar.
I have no idea what the 'magic formula' is for these things. I know when it's right, but I have no idea what it is I do differently between the right and the wrong.
Am I alone in occasionally feeling quite baffled by head and wheel bearings and occasionally finding it all as easy as closing a sock drawer?
If there is a 'magic method', what is it?
Am I just a Luddite with occasional moments of good fortune?
Is this something that every three-year-old gets right every time and I am just weird?
