The three easy fixes are:

1. Loctite the bearing in

2. Flip the bearing around and it'll solve your issue. Once your wheel is on the shaft it will not be able to go in either direction.

3. If you can't or don't want to flip the bearing. Take a washer and bolt and thread it through one of the holes next to the bearing.

This is only an issue with the wcd version and after this season we will most likely modify the plate to have holes to bolt retain the bearing.

Please email me directly or support at wcproducts.net if you need anything else.

Note if you want to flip the bearing, you will need an extra spacer between the 1/2 inch bearing and the gear. We did that this year, and I believe it was an extra 1/16th needed, but it might have been 1/8th. You'll have to check.

R.C, it would definitely be cool if next year it had bearing mount holes in the same location as the shifters. That was the one problem we had with our custom shifters that used the 3 CIM SS plates, and if those bearing holes were there from the start it would make things so much easier.
