New Bike Needs A New Part Already?!


How Original

Recommended Posts

Well I've just picked up my Onza, and when I was there everything seemed in order and as it should.

Now I've got home I've given it a more thorough going over, and noticed the back brake really leaning to one side, then spotted the "arm tensioner?" is broken, so I took the brake off and then found that the bearings in the wheel have gone (lots of wobble and play?)

Took some pictures as I'm not 100% sure what I need to buy (the correct words to search for) so can anyone help?

Or is there anything I can do to fix it without having to buy a new part?

Any help would be appreciated as I haven't even been able to take it out yet :angry:

that's an open bearing hub so the first thing i'd try is tightening up the cones

as for the v, try unscrewing the adjuster on the other arm to even up the tension a bit

failing that, a decent v can be had for under a tenner on the 'bay

I'll try tightening up the cones a bit, cheers for that.

As for the V, will I need to get a matching one, because I don't know which one to search for?
