Loose Hubs, Any Video Guides To Tightening/Adjusting Them?


Theo

Recommended Posts

I have found some videos however Im not sure what kind of hubs I have and they need adjusting, the back wheel is rattleing. I have a stock onza comp if this helps.

All I was after was a guide which explains how to do it clearly, I have found some but I dont want to do the wrong thing if the guides are for the wrong hubs.

Any help?

Thanks loads! Theo (Y)

a stock onza comp?? theres no such thing, unless you mean a comp mod bike ( mod=20" wheels. stock = 26")

Its easy to do firstly you loosen one side of the axel, when its loose you get a axel cone spanner and where the hub slots into the wheel there is a nut you loosen that then nip the bearings up. Then repeat this process on the other side.

Hi thanks fot the info, will keep that in mind for the future. Just one thing, an axle cone spanner, do they vary in sizes? if so what sort of size would I be looking for?

Stock as in, it comes with factory parts. No modified bits on it Eg. New cranks etc..

Nearly... the video I posted below goes into full detail.
