Hello Ed, looks to me that the way the axle was set up was correct. The locking tabs should freely float on the axle between the cone and locknut I have a Schwinn Impact Pro mtn bike in my basement with this same set up but the cone has a small raised shoulder for the locking tab that it rotates on instead of the locknut on your bike. I'm assuming the locknut was never tightened causing the cone to back off and drop a bearing. In the image at 40 seconds, the spacing on the left side looks too much compared to the spacing on the right, should have 1/4"-3/8" axle spacing on each side. Good luck.
You are correct. That makes sense. The raised edge on the locknut puts force on the cone nut but still gives the locking tabs free float. Otherwise like I have it, it works, but the locking tabs have to be held in place with your fingers ever time you put the wheel on--which is a real pain. As for the spacing, I adjusted it correctly when I put the axle in the hub. You can see that at the very end of the video when the wheel spinning. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate you setting me straight.
I changed the wheel safety clips around. I'll add a card with a short video to the old video to show the change. Thanks again. By the way, where is your fb4k program starting?

@@edscyclingwithcoyotes no worries it's fun working on these old bikes. Thanks for all you do. Our fb4k's program starts up soon.

"Ridding"? Typo in the title, I suspect
Fixed it. Thanks.
