rear wheel bearings

What happens if the rear wheel bearings are seated "so well" that both bearings and the spacer will only turn as one unit now?

I believe that is what happens normally, after you tighten the nut.  That is why the spacer is in there, to tighten up between the bearings.  Otherwise, you could have left it like you first did, without the spacer!  LOL 

You are good to go.  Anyway, I know of no one who has one side of the wheel turning at a different speed than the other side!

Thanks, MP.  I need to delete this thread now....  Every-time I've taken the wheel off before, the bearings turned independently and the spacer was able to flop around.  I swear, this "doing your own work so you can know your bike better" is wearing on me!
