Sounds to me like one "paper-thin" shim needs to be removed. Moe should
have it shimmed correctly, but then he also should have removed the old
fork seals from the spring cup/fork seal holders I got from him BEFORE
they were rechromed - but didn't! But that another story...

PLAY: as in when u check your wheel bearing play on an car. Take ones
hand and place on top of wheel and the other on bottom. Now, pull one
hand whilst pushing the other.

Ive got play in mine. You could call it twisting diagonally left to
right or top to bottom along along axle center. There is no gear oil in
rear at moment. it is dry as a bone, fresh put together. Bearings are
freshly repacked. In my humble assessment I feel the bearings are not
fully seated in their races.

My other eldo has very , very slight play too but I would guesstimate it

to be normal.

thanks

Please define "play".
Rotational? The way the wheel turns.
Sliding lateral along the axle?
Twisting diagonally left to right along the axle center?
Twisting diagonally top to bottom along the axle center?
Nobody will be able to opine on your issue unless you can be more
specific about the play.

 Just got my rear bearings set up by Moe at cyclegarden. Installed the
hub on the drive with the brake drum and torqued it down.

I have alot of play in the wheel...my other eldo does not have this. any


ideas as to what did wrong??

Reason for Moe doing the bearings is I lost the spacer and
shims.....turned the shop inside out and could not find them:(

thnx.
