In other words… the wheel has a 5/8 bore. Rod is 5/8 diameter, but there’s still a bit of play, so the bearing isn’t snug.

That’s my current setup actually. The steel rod is held rigidly by the conduit clamps. The wheel turns around the rod, and only occasionally “engages” the bearing (it basically moves around the axle without needing the bearing). Is it common/recommended to secure the inner ring of the bearing to the axle so the bearing remains stationary?

Because I have lots of time and no money. Cheap = better, even if it takes me 5ever.

While I have no idea what you're talking about (many new & exciting words), it sounds very promising, and I'm sure a few google searches will confirm that hunch. Thank you!

just a push cart for my golf clubs. 30 lbs max at 5 mph (maybe 7 mph if I've had a redbull)

Where do you envision the axle collars going?
