But the threaded nut UNDER the triple clamp sets the bearing tension. That bolt was still tight but the bearings were loose after 1000 miles. Adjusting the bearings requires the removal of that bolt, the triple and setting the load with the collar nut.

That 19 year old $7 an hour (if that) kid isn't supposed to check bearing thrust/play.
