hope pro II wobble

Tony06

My front pro II not even a year old has started wobbling slightly.. Its 20mm bolt through and in a set of Marzocchi z1 lights. Anyone know what could be the cause of this? Its not much only about half a mm

new bearing time?

Try checking that the lockrings are tight either side. It's only been a year so they might not have worn out yet.

If not new bearings/hub.

What lockrings?

Tony06

well they are sealed cartridge bearings? http://www.hopegb.com/voir_pro2sp3_imag ... age_1.html

would it be hard to strip it myself nad service it?

it id quite easy. remove the C clips that hold the 20mm spacers in place and then drift the bearings out and then press new ones back in.

how do i get the c rings out?? never tried before? Is it easy enough? Im quite good with fixing up the bike but never ventured as far as my hub..
