• Was fettling my partner’s bike when I realised that the rear wheel had some side to side play while in dropouts. Realised that there is play between the skewer and the wheel hub (I can push the skewer up and down when inserted, as shown by the not very obvious picture) - is this common or is the hub knackered?

  • Remove the QR and see if the qr is worn. Or a thinner qr than needed is fitted.
    Check to see if the inner hub shaft is broken.

  • Thanks for all the advice everyone - will have a look! Don't have the cone spanners to adjust the hub but maybe I should get ahold of some.
