I took my front wheel out of the fork dropouts and noticed slight play in the one side. The axle cover just pulled straight off really easy - same the other side. Is this normal? I've only had the wheels two months...
Normal.
yep normal, just push them back on.
So long as there is no play with the wheel in place its fine
Cheers, as they just felt too easy to pull away from the hub, I did wonder.
Hope still wont admit it but the front wheel bearings are not seated fully in the hub. A pair I have & 2 others ive fixed have all had play.if your careful it can simply be done at home with a mallet and someting to fit the front bearing. Use something like a cassette removal tool or anything that sits on the outside the bearing. Be careful not to damage the seal area of the bearing.
