Mark - The Tiger Manual adjustment instructions say to tighten to 15-20
lb-ft while rotating the wheel and then back off one to one and one-half
flats. The end float spec is 0.002-0.007". Instead of measuring end float, I
just grab the top and bottom of the wheel and see if I can feel any play. If
there is, I tighten it another half flat. I think that the initial
tightening is important to ensure that the bearing is fully seated.
