Shimano RS81 - hub play

Hi all,

The front hub on my shimano rs81 wheel has developed a bit of play that neither I or my LBS have managed to solve. With the wheel out the bike you can feel a small amount of play by pushing and pulling the hub, but once on the bike the juddering when braking is terrible.

My LBS have looked at it twice, tighted up the bearings and hub so any play disappears, but after a few miles the hub seems to work itself loose and the juddering again comes back.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Stuart
