BigAl Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Good help...Just throw some loctite on there, or some thread tape around the axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrobot Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) Type of hub would help the diagnosis. All cones have neighboring cones which need to be tightened together, paired they won't move. Don't keep wrenching them into the bearings or they will explode. If your axle binds rotates 180 degrees and is loose you bent your axe-hole. Edited June 20, 2009 by afrobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has tightned the pair on each side, so I think he should go with the locktite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freind zone Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 ptfe tape on the axle, but in my experiance onza unsealed hubs don't last to long after the cones start to move, if you neglect them they will chomp into the bearings and lock up the hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
