Hi,
I need some advice as despite following the Hadley instructions, I cannot get rid of the small amount of play in my front hub.
I've fitted new bearings,tightened the axle then fitted and tightened the end caps (carefully) to the point where I can't feel any play in the axle with the wheel in the stand.
Problem is, when I re fit the wheel in the forks there is still a small amount of play. The only way I can reduce this is to further tighten the end caps but then if I remove the wheel and check the bearings, they feel like they are full of gravel because the end caps are too tight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated......
Thanx..
Andy.
