Mavic front wheel play
There is a little bit of play in my front wheel when mounted on the bike. Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheel with QR on a Cannondale Synapse bike. When I take the wheel off to investigate there appears to be no discernible play in the axle, yet when remounted it is there again (slight, but noticeable). I have ordered a Mavic hub wrench so I can at least have a look and see what's what, but is there anything else I should be checking? The steering bearings appear to be OK (no play at all if I hold the front brake and rock the bike to and fro) and as far as I can tell* all spokes appear to be sound. The wheel spins freely and rolls OK.

I have a set of R-sys and it just seems to be a thing that the hub cap keeps loosening on its own...
My LBS said it's no problem as long as I tighten it up every now and then.0 -
Nope, it's just the bearing preload, so once you get the tool, you are back on the roadleft the forum March 20230
