This is easy enough to check visually when disassembled. Another possibility is that you're not holding the adjusting cone tightly on either component as you tighten the locknut or lockring--thus allowing both to turn at the same time. A correctly adjusted component should ALWAYS have a SLIGHT amount of up-and-down and side-to-side play--enought to feel, but not to hear. --Bill Weiss, AT&T Network Systems (mduxb!wsw) ** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
