Washed the old beast today, then took off the wheels to grease the axle / bearings / brake pivots / etc.
The left rear bearing seemed to have a bit of play in it.
(maybe a 1/16 inch.)
Put it back together, and it seems solid as a rock though. :think:
Wheel spins around fine, and doesnt wiggle AT ALL. vertically or horizonally.
I'm probably just being paranoid, and anal, but i though i'd ask you pro's out there in bike land! :)
It's not unusual to have a tad of freeplay in a loose or dismonted bering. what counts is when the assembly is tourqued to spec. If there is any play under the specs replace ASAP. I am glad to hear that you are taking care of your axles though. Probably one of the most over looked places on the machine :thumb:
