Wheel bearing resistance

[Kiwifruit]

Gentlemen........ I have had exactly this issue myself. When I fitted my bearings, and I only just kissed the  bearing seat with them. They were bound up. If you take the wheel out and try to spin the inner race does the inner race on the other bearing spin with it? Im a bit naughty because i just gave the bearing on one side a tiny smack off its seat. Well two smacks really, one 180 degrees to the other. You will feel the bearings free up. The amount of clearance  you need is minute.....but its all you need. I did that about 35000k's ago.
Barmy makes a good point about loosening the brake torque arm when adjusting the chain. On my bike i do find when i tighten the axle nut it also tightens the chain. So double check the chain tension before riding.
Hope thats of some help.

no need to loosen torque arm. secret to adjusting chain/ tightening axle. very easy. stick a huge lump of rag between chain and sprocket. google, much easier than me explaining. works perfectly.

They do this on a few kits I've seen in the past - TonyB had same issue last year, one too many dust seals on the rear wheel - one had been fitted on the disc side and was jamming the wheel.

Glad all seems good now Simon, but yes new bearings (again) a good idea.

To prove a point..
This is the exact kit I ordered originally..
