Hi,will there be a problem if i use a sealed bearings hub without the lock nut on the non driver side?
This is the only way to balance the wheel in the center of the frame because at some point where the axle's threads end,the axle becomes thicker and the lock nut won't fit because of its smaller diameter.
I have to remove something from the hub to make it able to move a few mm to one side and there is no other way without removing the lock nut.
Anyway,its complicated but trust me,there is no other way
So,it will be : bearing->bearing cover->washer->dropout->peg->nut
instead of : bearing->bearing cover->lock nut->dropout->peg->nut
Will the pressure from tightening the nut damage the bearing if there is no lock nut,or the bearing can stand the pressure?
I have tried this config before,just for a session,the wheel doesn't lock up or anything but i stopped using it because i wasn't sure about what would happen in the long run.
