Agreed. The bearing should NOT touch the forks during rest. Quickest way to wear out the bearing. There also needs to be a little slack in the system. My preliminary setting is to have the bearing touch the forks after about an inch or two of pedal travel. Once the car is in running condition you can adjust from there to have the clutch start to engage at a point where it "feels" right.... usually when the pedal is a little less than half way up from the floor.
