    Wrong bearings'?

    I replaced the bearings in my 200s. However the rear end never got better. I cranked the two big nuts on the right side of the axle on tighter and it tightened up for about 10 minutes. Took it back apart, removed the axle and slid the bearing on the axle. Theres play between the bearing and the axle, I'm thinking there the wrong bearings. Does this sound right'?

    The bolts for the chain ajuster, are they all intact?
    ON my 200s, the nut thats welded to the inside of the frame broke off, so you cant tighten the rear end up. It could be mistaken for bad bearings.

    Problem fixed.. The brake hub wasnt sitting right leaving the two big nuts nothing to tightnen up against.. Sounds confusing but everythings tight now.
    Thanks

    Ok now my rear-end is extremely lose again. By rocking it back and forth it sounds like the bearings are shot, however there brand new and everything is tightened up. Is the axle possibly worn out?

    the rear end on my bike is the same way, it seems that the bearing on the right side of the axal is shot, i dunno about the other side because when i rock mine back and forth it seem the right side is the only side that moves and the left side dosn't. So i'd like to see how this turns out, input wise

    the bearings should have been snug on the axle .
