Ok, today I finished putting together the nose wheel. I used a previously discussed technique and installed stakes (a la Roberta) in the mushroom spacer. When the wheel is inserted between the fork and the axel nut is not on, the wheel does not spin (in other words you cannot spin it with you hand), but does turn reasonably well. After putting the nut on and applying the correct torque (160#) for a 3/8? bolt, the wheel takes a fair amount of effort just to turn. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it?
