So I pulled the chaincase down the other night and found that there was a washer or slinger behind the wobble bearing.
When I was looking at the exploited diagram I found no washer behind the jackshaft. [emoji848] I am worried what would happen without it... Or if there will be slack behind the bearing and cause issues. I did order every piece for 16'.
The locking threaded sleeve was a pain to get unlocked. Having to give the jackshaft a serious smack was an understatement! Also the collar only moves in a very small amount to "unlock" the shaft! Hoping Steve (cannondale) will elaborate once he is into his![emoji1]
The new bearing doesn't say China on it, but the old one that was China does have a steel cage and the new one that has no markings on it has a plastic cage! Anyone have info on a better bearing and WHERE to get it?
You can see the plastic cage!

The collar in first pic is part of the taper lock. It is not used in 16. I decided I am going to try the stock 16 bearing with plastic cage. Have not heard of a single 16 failure although it was a low mileage year. I kind of like plastic cage since it will not rust and strength is not a issue since a cage will not take any force to break whether steel or plastic. We will see.
