Great Ned
You are my hero. Such an intelligent race. I am wondering why Saucelito Canyon Vineyard is not listed as a sponcer. Mabey I just got lost in the shuffle. Bill

Point of clarification
Layer Cake winery sent all the sponcers 6 bottles of wine, not Saucelito Canyon Vineyard. For us to send that many free bottles would probably be last years profit. Thank you Layer Cake and Go Ned.

What I did to make my suspension great.
First I put in Hyperpro front springs, smother and stiffer with less bottoming. Then an Ohlins rear shock set for my weight. Very nice but now the front end was too stiff so I added on AirCells to...

C3
My replacement SKF 6204 bearings are C3. Could one then use a CO or C2 that are smaller.

Keeping it even with Emery
Covering a surface with paint or a Sharpie and then sanding off the paint might help keep the amount of material removed equal.

On the SKF web site under products-troubleshooting-bearing damage chart are pictures of bad bearing and what caused the damage. Perhaps this will help solve the problem.
