front hub had a bit of sideways wobble, so i thought i would change the bearings.
changed them, but the wobble is still there, yet not quite as bad.

any idea's?

it is a 20mm hub, with a bomber fork.

Had a bit of movement with my 20mm Pro2, found out it was the maxel not quite tigthening up against the fork leg.

It wouldn't screw in any further and all the tension was taken up by the QR, but the fork leg on the QR end still moved a few mm. Solved it with a big washer and saved £££ over a new maxel

i thought a washer on the inside of each leg might sort it.
i will give it a go tomorrow.

Only needed the one on my Rev's, placed outside the right leg as you look down when sat on the saddle

I found my Revs (maxle lite) and Pro 2 had developed some lay in the new SKF races that I installed at the start of winter. When I removed the wheel the axle converter on one side of the hub fell off as the spring clip had got a small bend/twist in it and it wasnt locked down. Just check both sides as when I tapped the bearings and then straightened the split ring and reassembled it the wobble was cured!
