The inner bearing race will come inside the hub and your wheel will be acting like a drunk man.

In Mexico the word borracho is used to describe a drunk man. Is there a similar word used in Quebec?

For sure!

Try '' SAOUL''

I think is it the word you are looking for.

They aren't kidding.

That spacer is critical. Consider what the outside spacers (outside the hub) are going to be pressing against if it's not there.

And after the bearing is destroyed when you tighten up the axle nut..how are you going to get the outside race out of the hub?

You will be a most unhappy camper. :cry:

:hmm: A wheel barfing and excreting body wastes on itself.....I've never seen that.

Not that I care to...........
