Well this is what happened.
Once again Nick at Rockwell Cycles comes thru in a pinch. He is sending me 2 new rose bearings and the 103mm rod is going to set me back 100 bucks. I haven't heard yet from the seller who said he's calling his dealer, Duc Pond. For everything I hear about them they screwed the pooch on this one.
Nick said that most likely a tech didn't press them in right, or on install put it on backwards...either way too much pressure was placed on them in the wrong direction. I then removed them, pressed them back in and they work reasonably.
I found bolts left over from my RC8R rear sets that match the size and quality. Still working on the heel guard hole, but I'm almost thru with that.
The peg I'll worry about when I snap it off in a crash...lol. That is about it. Oh yeah, While installing the right side I noticed it was set on the high position, while the left was on the low....how the tech got a job at Duc Pond is beyond me, the fact the the guy that owned them before me and rode around like that tells me a lot.
Thanks for the support, I'll let you all know if the seller comes thru and offers me money back.
Cheers,
