OK, getting bummed here.
I'm putting the knuckles back on and I didn't check the bearing\stud fit as described on Rogers page. I couldn't press the knuckle bearing caps on by hand and rather than pound them on, I used the nuts to press them on. I paid attention to the force required and tho it wasn't great, I'm hoping I don't have a bad time getting them off next time.

Anyone else have trouble getting the caps on? I didn't like the idea of sanding down the studs, I'm certain I'd end up with flat spots and then I'd probably try to get the flat spot out, leaving a stud too small.

I also can't figure out the fish scale thing? If it's a big deal to measure steering (knuckle bearing) drag, then I have to pull the crossover steering arms? Damn.

Sorry, I'm a bit put out right now, damn neighbor kids and their bikes. I bet I worked on 5 bikes today and it got me distracted enough from my knuckles that at first, I tried to install one upside down. Dammit. Finally the father came over with 2 MORE bikes that the kids had gotten locked together so tight, they wouldn't come apart (pedals thru spokes\wheel) and I said,
"This is it. No more bikes tonight". I hate being rude, but this is ridiculous. Dammit, I have 4 more days to get my rig ready for the big Memorial day ride and don't have time for bikes...
Anyway, what about the caps and the shims? Critical or just slap it together?
