Is this going to be an issues with the 2021 sleds or did they start machining the shaft properly?

Are you Sure? I bet it's still not locked. Shaft expander would be great for peace of mind. Rather than finding out later.
Even at room temperature, a new bearing is pretty stiff turning. I'm locking mine down and be done for the next 10,000 miles.

The last shaft I ordered beleive i end up with a updated shaft

This shaft was .0015" oversized and required to warm bearing and cool shaft to install

The question is have all old shafts been purged from supply line such that every 2021 got the new shaft?
(BTW- bearings haven't changed. Still using 6009 which have an ID of 45mm = 1.77165").

 

[cjr]

I was referring to new sleds not replacement shaft

 

[Turboflash]

Yes, 2021. But still have ALL old design shafts been purged such that there was no way for a 2021 to have an old one?
