Yeah, Jim, but I've had 3 Excels in the last 8+ years and they've all had NevRLube bearings and I promised none have had close to .120" end play. I've read difference specs from different places. I think the main thing is that a bearing shouldn't condemned for having some slack, because it's built in.
Another thing is that the weep/seep of grease on the wheels is normal, especially in the early days. If you don't wash or clean it off of aluminum wheels it looks pretty nasty. A little grease film looks like a failure to most folks. Just sayin' rockin'
