[QUOTE="blakmambo, post: 1383751, member: 89945"] Yep, me too . . . I don't recall seeing anything other than "shaft" on the axle . . . just looked at my **non-uploaded** photo of the inside aspect of the exposed hub-side splines . . . nothing but your basic lonely splines there . . . I didn't look at the (from rear) right side where there was a spacer/holder from the brake assembly, so there might be a needle bearing in there . . . . But, I do appreciate "lubrication" so it would be hard for me to put "nothing" on re-assembly . . . following God's love of balance and freedom of movement via judicious application of greasy kid's stuff wherever possible or on whatever looks in "reasonable need of lubing" . . . I'll have to search out this errant needle bearing set . . . I had a sheet on the ground to catch the inevitable parts jailbreak effect, nothing seemed to be on it or nothing caught my eye as it tried to leap free of its containment in service to the greater machine, etc. As usual with this bike, the continuing saga, rear tire was ordered a week ago, mechanic says, "I'll call you as soon as its in . . ." Ooopsss, "part coming from out of state" . . . called yesterday, oooppsss, mechanic has worn out his welcome with his landlord, anonymous guy answering the phone says, "I don't know nothing about any tire, he'll be gone after Wed . . . ." ?????
