I have a set of Planet X AL30 wheels in which the rear hub has a bit of play. With the bike upside down I'm able to wiggle the wheel side to side and feel some definite mechanical play - I can assure you it's not a QR issue. The AL30's are cartridge bearings and also have a 'slight' history of being poor. I was hoping I didn't have a duff set but I guess I might now. :?

So it sounds like their dead right? Can I just off-load the rear wheel to a LBS and get them to upgrade the bearings? If so, what might be recommended and how much should I be looking at to replace?

Thanks,
Craig
