Wondering if anyone else has this problem... The original bearings were replaced about 500km ago due to looseness in the hub, when I grab the top of the rear wheel and the seat I can feel it clunking if I push the top of the wheel side to side... A small amount of movement, really, maybe 1-2mm at the tyre???
I replaced the bearings with Enduro bearings and the problem returned after 50km, so I took it apart again and used loctite on the axle and bearing races, this lasted another 50k's... So far I've just been riding it as is because I CBF screwing around with it again, it appears to be the non-drive side bearing with a small amount of play (or play between axle and bearing race...), but obviously a very small bit of play at the hub is a lot more at the tyre.
Is it worth trying another set of bearings? A new axle? It's definitely not the freehub itself, but one of the 2 main bearings. I suspected it was the inner one and did that one again already. No dice.
The hub seems fine otherwise but is definitely a lot more clunky in the rear over really rough stuff and getting annoying on an otherwise quiet bike...
Any ideas, other than buying a hope pro 4 and getting it swapped here? Or buying a complete wheel from the UK and selling the old one?
