a lame question but i hope you people can help me out.

i was servicing my shimano 600 front hub. while doing it all the bearings came loose.
as everything that drops on the floor gets lost in my house. i used some spares i had.

at each side i put 11 bearing balls. is this right ? as i read the standard is 10.

the hub is the same as here:

thnx for your help !

Front is 10 per side, rear is 9.
It will look like there is one missing, don't worry about it.

The general rule for open bearings is pack em full, and drop one out. Should work every time!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
