bearing sizers unnecessary on KH with Profile bearings

[jagur]

*FYI*

i just recieved the sizer rings that are to up-size the Profile bearing
to fit the 42mm KH bearing holders but i dont need them.the Profile size
is big enough and the holders have enough tolerance to work great
without them.

you _will_ need the bearing sizers if you use 40mm bearings on a profile
hub with the Production KH frame but you _wont_ need them if you use the
bigger Profile size.

It's a better fit for me with them. It's close but the bearing holder
surface doesn't make contact throughout the entire circumference of the
1-5/8 bearing, at least on my frame.
Install the bearing by itself, without the axle and see if it touches
at the outer edges, near the cap screws.

there are two sizes bearing holders on kh frames.

the splined unis and the first of the nosplines have 42mm bearing
holders. the early nosplines have 40mm bearings and aluminum shims.

the new kh nosplines and the kh freestyle have 40mm bearing holders.

although the frames are pretty much identical in all other respects.

gets confusing dosent it?

i checked that out before commiting to the build up but it is very
close,esspecialy when tightened down.call it a class B fit.

its close enough that im not going to take off my cranks to install them
but in a couple of months when i strip it down for cleaning,i'll use
them.i could install them instantly by slitting them but that would be a
shame.i'll just wait.
