Would suggest red loctite to stop it getting any looser, etc?

It is fairly loose.. Im considering a new wheel as I dont want it getting really bad! My bike shop said that I should replace it :( They were only powder coated recently...

Any other suggestions for repair?

Anyone have a rear wheel for sale in good condition preferably in white..

wonder if a white front and gold rear would look any good??

Spoke to Graham today who advised the loctite bearing sealer can be used for a more temporary solution possibly for race bikes rather than road bikes that will cover 1000's of miles.

I did wonder why this has happened and he explained as follows...

If a bearing is not installed 100% correctly over a long period of time it will eventually warp the bearing housing..

Anyone want to buy my wheel which is in mint condition paint wise.. was done at the beginning of the year in white with a slight pearl fleck to match the nc23 bodywork. It is a nc29 rear wheel.. :peace:
