Ali C Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 If its a king then the lock ring is (very) loose, tighten it up and it should be fine. (I guess at least one person will have posted by the time this is done (Y) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Maybe the cones are loose? Sounds like what mine did when i had an unsealed wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) Could very well be a snapped axle in your hub, go for an investigation. if i hadn't of gone back for a spelling mistake i might of got in just before ali :-p Edited April 18, 2005 by Spacemunkee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Are you sure the cups are done up enough (if it uses them)? Have you checked the axle to check its not broken/bent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, any one know why it doing it i need help aswell! Cheers Ste (Y) EDIT: my wheel is practically brand new so i can't see that anything would have snapped.

Tartridge Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 All I can think of, without seeing it, is a snapped axle, or broken bolt. Check the hub is tightened into the frame properly, check the frame for cracks too. Edit: Both these problems sound very odd! Really hard to diagnose without seeing the bike (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
