Wobbly front wheel

  • my frony hub's playing, not much but it does, what does that mean?
    new hubs needed?

  • Try adjusting the cones, if cub and cone type.

    Should be some kind of adjustment.

    he will have the answer

  • re-grase it, fuck with cones, get out a hammer and start swinging looks like your options to me

  • a hammer is the only tool you have isnt it vegan

  • one tool fix all

  • I use a hammer for all jobs except those which require a hammer - in which case I will use the nearest heavy object I can find.

  • i have three tools, they are called small, meium and Fuck Off, all of them are hammers

  • I've had a charge plug for about 6 months and although i've had a load of punctures on my back wheel, I've never had one on the front so have had no reason to take it off..

    However, i bought some gators the other day and fitted them to the front and back..

    when i put the front wheel back on it was EXTREMELY wobbly.. there's probably an inch of play..

    would anyone be able to tell a n00b exactly what i've done and how i can sort it?

    thanks

  • Put it on at an angle?

  • hmmmm, it would be nice if it was that simple but I'm pretty sure it's on straight.. i can move the rim side to side while the wheel is tightly done up, like there is space between the axle and the hub or something..

  • loose cones? use a cone spanner, not a hammer...

  • definately play in the cones

  • yep, from reading sheldon's site above that's what i was thinking..

    will have a fiddle tonight

    thanks

  • don't over tighten them, your bearings wont like it.
