alright, heres the situation. today I noticed a very slight movment in my uni when I hoped around, at first I thought it was the pedels, so I tightend the bearings. but then i lifted the uni and I found I could feel a shaking in the hub (I think) when I jiggled the wheel. does any one know what this is/ how to fix it?
i don’t know if this will help, but I ride Profile cranks/hub
thanks

This happened to my girlfriends uni, and my uni when I got a new frame.
Seras brother, Zach, thought it was the pedals, took them off, put them back on real tight, it still rattled. He then though is was her hub.
I cam over a little after that to ride with everyone and they told me the problem, so i looked at it and jiggled it back in forth, and notice one of the bearing holders was loose.
This happened on my uni when I got my new frame, I side hopped down an 8-set and wrecked the landed, got up, did it again and landed, but noticed it being loose, I though my hub or cranks bent or something, then realised the bearing holder came loose form the frame being new.
Check that and see if it is what is causing the problem.
yes its the bearing holders
+1 to both…It happens to me every so often.
Hey! you guys were all correct. thanks a lot:D

Now the challenge is to NOT overtighten the bearing holders. The
criterion is that the wheel should spin freely.
