Re: help! is this bad?

Lining up three bearings on a single shaft requires a bit of precision. Otherwise, you'll deflect or bend the shaft in a way that might result in increased friction or binding.

Cantilevering the load against your sprocket outside the bearings isn't a great idea, either, but I think it's the lesser of two evils in your case.
