Re: Losmandy G11 bearing question

Hi Paul,
?
Binding due to misalignment is one of the problems I found as a potential way to screw up my perfectly good G11 mount as I contemplated this modification.? To get that perfect non-binding installation the additional bearing would need to be supported on a shaft that is in alignment with the other two bearings as the 3rd is pressed into place.??
?
So when I looked at the distance between the bearings and the very short length the axle? is unsupported at the end of the body I figured it should make no difference.? My guess was it would not improve performance even if the 3rd bearing was installed perfectly.? But if not installed perfectly or the axle was not perfectly straight the slight misalignment could be the source of a slight, regular binding as the axle rotated.? So I passed on that modification.??
