I've just taken apart my g/f's front hub as the bearings have felt decidedly sloppy since day one (2nd hand wheel). They seemed to be getting worse so time for change.
Eventually got out the disc side one out(total nightmare and they decided not to bother tapering or staggering the size of the hole) the other side wasn't a problem. Got it back together pretty easily, back on the bike, still sloppy!
its seems to be that the outboard spacers fit the axle poorly, so no amount of tightening the bolt through will tighten everything up.
Is this a common issue or have we landed a one off? Either way its a pretty poor show for something made up of only 6 components!
