<<Rule #2: Join the 90's; toss the shims. That is, modern tapered
bearings are meant to have some side loading so omit the shims, grease
everything up real good, and tighten down the castellated nut good and
hard like you do on American cars. Then back up at least one quarter
until a hole aligns for the cotter pin.>>

So did you replace the ball bearings with tapered bearings, or just
adjust your ball bearings as though they were tapered bearings?  If the
former, how did you figure out which bearings to use, and would you
share the information with someone who's too lazy to figure it out
himself?
