Don't forget that you're gonna have the drag of the disk brakes when
spinning the wheel. One thing I've always done when replacing the front
wheel is to move the bike around and work the forks a little before I cinch
everything down. That way everything should be seated where it
belongs. IMO YMMV.

Mine takes effort to spin the wheel. I'm confident that my speedo drive
is aligned correctly and I have the spacer seated right.<br>
I guess I was expecting the wheel to spin easily like a bicycle tire but
remember, I'm new at this.<br>
