Tsia Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Just a quick one, I've just got a new (Not 2011, just unused) front Echo hub that moves side to side on the axle about 5mm. Before I get the wheel built, am I just being stupid in thinking that this just isn't right? Thanks :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 if that hub does have sealed bearings,it will be ok once you tighten up the wheel in forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah, it does. Me being stupid then. Thought so! Thanks, it's just something I'd never seen happening before in any of the hubs from my other bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 If its only left to right movement it will be the bearings not sitting on the axle seats, when you tighten the forks it should press the bearings into the hub further and sort this, if not find some way of pressing them in a little further.
