max-t Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 You sure the lockring hasn't come loose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 diamond for the quick response but to honest i dont have a clue on what bearing i need etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I guess, if the bearing's f**ked, you ought to take it out, and then maybe you can compare it to the pictures on the site, lol. Failing that, you can describe where it goes in the hub to aspire and they'd be able to tell you which one it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 What sort of wobbling is it? Seems a bit weird that the bearing's gone if it's new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Very very rare for a bearing to go, sounds like you just need to tighten the lockring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 If the hub axle spins smoothly but has play you need to tighten the bearings. If it makes cracking noises and is notchy or has stiff points in turning the axle then the bearings are probably dead or the axle's broken.

craigjames Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Mine's started doing this on my 24", tightened up the adjusting collar and was fine for the whole of about half an hour and its come loose again. Mines currently a QR axle, but have a HD axle kit on order. Do you need the CK tool for doing up the adjusting collar properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 You need your fingers, and something like a 3/32 inch allen key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgschulze Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 If the threads for the Allan bolt go through all the way on the lock-ring... it's a 3/32" I believe. If the threads are not passing through all the way.. i.e. you can't see the other end of the bolt.. it's a 2.5mm allan key. Do not use the wrong key... it's quite easily stripped, and make sure it's a good quality one... I rounded off a Park Tools 2.5mm because I believe they're not heat treated properly.

Alex Dark Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeh, take care that you DO use thee right size allen key....i'll bet they can be a right b*****d to get out if you round em off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted January 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 took it to another bike shop and we had a look at it and turns out that it was that adjusting collar, we un did the bolt slided it along the axle, bolted ity back up and works a treat now been riding along (no trials) for a a few days now and its still tight cheers guys and revolver if i meet you on a ride we going for a beer, well if i meet any of you on a ride same thing goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
