I’ve got a cheapy bontrager duster wheelset that has ended up on my pub bike. The rear free-hub has got a noticeable amount of play, especially with a big cassette on it, accentuating the problem. It’s definitely the freehub and not the axle in the bearings.
It’s a cup and cone hub which makes me think it’s shimano-ish style but it doesn’t have the double axle lock nut. On the drive side there’s a nut inside a flange with a couple of flat edges all under a top cap, then a final external nut whichis the axle interface to the drop out.
I know that sounds vague, but I can’t find any info about the hub. Anyone got any idea on how the freehub comes off (shimano style with a 10mm hex?), if the play can be removed with adjustment, or if it needs replacement. In which case, would a regular shimano freehub fit?
