David Biddle™ Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Check your axle and if you find that the wheel is pulling to one side and gose from loose to tight then the axle is bent .Also check other things like hub shell for cracks.Biddle Edited March 21, 2008 by Biddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Are your cones suitably tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 take the wheel up and get 2 spanners and nip the 2 axle bolts up till the axle feels smooth but not to tight or you will crush the bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
