I've developed a highly annoying wobble on my XT Hollowtech BB, I've tightened the bearing slighly to no avail, and also tightened the plastic crank bolt (The star shape thing), and after that I've run out of things to tighten! It seems to be the 'axle' it's self that wobbles, not just the arms.

So any advice or things I need to replace would be class!!

    well i dont know what you have done if you have actually done anything.

    to tighten the bearings undo the 2 pinch bolts and then apply more preload with the preload cap. then tighten the two clamping bolts.

    if that does not work. New bearings/cups.
