I did not time the gears. I was alarmed when I read your post and the supporting information. I reopened the hub and lined up the gears as is recommended. That work delayed completion, but I imagine was well worth it.
Thank you very much for the tip!!!

Glad it was helpful. If the gears are not timed, they still turn, but the teeth do not mesh up correctly. As a consequence they wear quickly once the hub is put into service. You can feel the difference in mesh pretty easily with the hub apart.
