Bearings - I had the same problem with mine (only 3 months old) took it to Hope at Mountain Mayhem and they sorted it. How old is the wheel? I'd suggest contacting the place you bought it from.

the other thing it could be is bearings not seated properly. Give hope a phone - I think they had a batch of dodgy bearings

I just had that on one after the first ride. New bearings are cheap though.

had this too. Fitted new bearings (bought from local bearing supplier), still play. Phoned Hope. They suggested that some bearings are not engineered to good enough tolerances. Bought a(nother) new bearing and voila.

Interestingly I could feel the play in the brand new bearing just by wobbling the axle on the bearing with nothing else assembled.
