Hi Andrew,
I heartily recommend the procedure found on the website below. I used
it to set mine up when I serviced the front bearings. It really helps
to have a bunch of shims of various sizes on hand. It's tedious,
especially with wire wheels but it's worth it in knowing it was done
right.
Cheers,
CR
