    • Tight everything, very tight.

    • Nothing should be moving, except the pedals on the bearing. If it's not moving, maybe your bearing is not 1mm or it has fallen.

    • You may see a little "play" from the bearing into the metal plate, but it was minimal for me. You could add some glue to force it still into place.

Washers need to be 1mm or 0,1mm ? https://www.loziska-rc.com/85440090?sear... will these be good?

1mm exactly, that's about the space left between the bearing and the plate.

edit : Yes those should be fine.

Hi,

You mention F605ZZ (14x5x4mm) but all F605ZZ I find are 14x5x5mm.

Are you sure yours are 4mm wide ?

Thanks in advance and excellent idea and guide by the way !

Jérôme Ventribout - Reply

they are indeed 5mm wide, my bad. I will correct the post !

Is it necessary to lubricate any of these components? I happen to have a 'WD-40 Specialist PTFE Dry Lube' lying around, not sure If I should use it. Thanks!
