DannyBazz (: Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Right, Just had everything out of my Echo hub, it wasn't running too smooth and was slightly loose. I put it all back together, exactly the same as it was, but the axle is really loose. I've tried hammering the bearing in further, tightening the wheel... No luck. I understand the hubs are pretty poo, I've had one before and that came loose too, but sold it on. Any help on what to do would be appreciated.

WIGAN Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 sounds like your bearins have collapsed and hammering em probably aint done them any good, if its not that then f**knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Possible snapped axle? probably collapsed bearings though. Orrr....you may have mullered theraised internal edge of the axle that the bearing rests on? Take it apart and have a looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBazz (: Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 sounds like your bearins have collapsed and hammering em probably aint done them any good, if its not that then f**knows Nope bearings are sound, I thought of that, so took em out and checked em, nothing wrong. Axles not wobbling up and down, its like side to side if you get me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axles not wobbling up and down, its like side to side if you get me right just a thought maybe your bolts are locking out on your axle before they'r getting a chance to tighten on your frame ??, if its that then you can just whack some spacers in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBazz (: Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Sorted now, but just noticed more or less everything else on my bike isn't in the best of conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
