Bought 2nd hand 29er on one wheel, superlight hub and when mounted it in the bike found it has a bit of waggle
tried tightening the caps at either side but still has movement-am i missing something really straightforward?

If clamped in the frame, lift the rear wheel, grasp at 12 and 6 o'clock, puch/pull in opposite direction between each hand. If it waggles and knocks it's likley to be the bearings.
Are they cartridge or cup&cone?
Or you might have a bent axle I suppose but it usually presents a little differently.
