Dave - I haven't measured it, but if you snug up the bearings to "no slop" on the carrier before installing on the shaft, after you install it onto the shaft I've felt a noticable increase in resistance to hand turning the race - maybe a couple inch-lbs? That's of course if you install the bearing assembly onto the shaft prior to inserting it into the banjo. If you install the carrier assembly into the banjo and then put on the shaft you won't see this.
