NT, I have been around a while, keep forgetting passwords etc, lol.I am trying tp install a staton crank shift kit w/ Honda gx35.Cannot understand why the axle will not clear the bearings, makes no sense.His customer service is not the greatest.I have nothing but problems so far with this kit.The first set of bearing cups that were manufactured by him stripped out the BB of the bike, I then requested he send me a set of the Odyssey euro cups that he stocks and they went right in the bike, a newbike I had to purchase, they worked great.It has been posted before that he does not cut the threads on his cups properly but I thought he fixed the problem, apparently not, he really needs to.Anyway, hopefully someone can shed some light on this axle/bearing issue.I am not sure if the bearing should be able clear the whole length of the axle or if they need to be tapped onto the end of the axle, the latter does not sound right.....Thanks.
