If you're tightening the nut all the way down and the wheel is binding, there's definitely something missing. The purpose of the spacers is to keep that from happening.

Get specific.

Take a look at the image of the wheel above, which shows all the various spacers and bearings. Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE that EVERY ONE is accounted for and in the right place?

From right to left looking from the rear of the bike, you should have:

- 92027A, spacer with shoulder. This is directly under the head of the axle bolt.
- 92049, which looks like a dust cover
- 601B bearing, which has a circlip (92033) holding it in
- 92143 axle tube
- 601 axle bearing (with 671 O ring)
- 42036 spacer that fits inside the sprocket carrier
- 601A sprocket carrier bearing
- 92052 washer
- 92027 spacer

and the nut.

That's no fewer than nine things the bolt goes through, not counting the adjusters, swing arm, wheel and sprocket carrier.

Can you for absolute sure account for all of them?
