Fulcrum Racing 3 sideways play

spasypaddy

I have a set of Racing 3s, my front wheel moves from side to side.

Anyone had this issue and fixed it before?

Anyone with any suggestions?


Thanks

if the quick release skewer is all tightened up, it sounds like the bearings, in which case you need to adjust the cones

Maybe the skewer.
Have you greased/oiled it ever ? Try a bit of oil in the cam and see if that means it can tighten properly.

Failing that, it'll be the bearings.
Fulcrum3 will be cartidge not cup&cone, but there's probably details on the Fulcrum website - I have Racing5's and found what I needed on there

Racing 3s are basically zondas

they are cup and cone with an allen key lock system

the steel ball cup and cone slagnola[fulcrum] stuff tends to loosen up after 500k or so but a simple hand tighten suffices for a good while more after that

undo the allen key lock, hand tighten till you get a smooth feel then lock....and your done

it's elementary
