- preload is applied by increasing the spacing between
the shaft mounted elements or decreasing the spacing between the
outer bearing rings.

- preload is applied by DEcreasing the spacing between
the shaft mounted elements or INcreasing the spacing between the
outer bearing rings.

From a practical standpoing however ball bearings are run with
nearly zero clearance. What this means is that in either configuration,
the name of the game is to get a rigid setup by making the clearance
very near to zero in bb or ff (balls out, or balls in) setup.

Unlike tapered roller bearings, ball bearings don't respond well
to large amounts of true preload.
