bearing carriers - Carbo - 04-06-2007
hey everyone
I just changed the stock carriers to the rpm ones with the 5x11 bearings. My question is. the origanal ones had a little washer up against the origanal 5x8 bearings on each side. these seemed way to small for the 5x11s so i left them off
do i need to get bigger washers or whatever thoes things are called or not?
its on an e-pede
Thanks

if they will fit I would. Sometimes rpm stuff is thicker not allowing. Is there play in it? You will love the e-pede. Is it xl5 or older version?

xl5. ya i left them off then tried one. i found out they r teflon spacers for slop. with them on i cant reasseble it. so left them of

Thats right, they are teflon spacers and for the stock setup they keep it tight. If the new setup is tight and you don't think you need them, its fine. I use them to reduce slop when needed.

Nineteen Hundred: All that city. You just couldn't see the end to it. The end? Please? You please just show me where it ends? It was all very fine on that gangway. And I was grand too, in my overcoat. I cut quite a figure. And I was getting off. Guaranteed. There was no problem. It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max. It was what I didn't see. You understand that? What I didn't see. In all that sprawling city there was everything except an end. There was no end. What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end. The end of the world...
Take a piano. The keys begin, the keys end. You know there are eighty-eight of them, nobody can tell you any different. They are not infinite. You are infinite. And on these keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that. That I can live by.
You get me up on that gangway and you're rolling out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that's the truth, Max. That they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite, then on that keyboard there is no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano.
Christ! Did, did you see the streets? Just the streets… There were thousands of them! And how do you do it down there? How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die...

I was born on this ship, and the world passed me by, but two thousand people at a time. And there were wishes here, but never more than fit between prow and stern. You played out your happiness, but on a piano that was not infinite. I learned to live that way.
Land? Land is a ship too big for me. It's a woman too beautiful; it's a voyage too long, a perfume too strong. It's a music I don't know how to make. I could never get off this ship. At best, I can step off my life. After all, I don't exist for anyone. You're an exception, Max, you're the only one who knows I'm here. You're a minority, and you better get used to it. Forgive me, my friend, but I'm not getting off.
I don't see how that has to do with the topic????
