Hi All I have a Careera banshee and on the front i have Marzocchi 55r forks on the front and they have a 20mm bolt thru axle

The front end appears loose either the hub is loose or the axle is how so i tighten the hub?

and can i adjust the torque on the bolt thru axle?

Cheers

John

    how old is it?

    new bearings is the general thing.

    pics of the 20mm cup end?

    if it is what i thing it required a drift and a hammer.

    But at six weeks it should be returned to the shop for fixing.

    there is no adjustment in the bearings.
