HELP PLEASE!! SHAKY TUFF 2

(1/3) > >>

d14vd_h:
my brother recently replcaed his chain on his gold supertuff burner.
in manhandling the wheel the axle seems to have come loose!
he says that it was slightly shaky beforehand but it seems to have worsened since this.
we got the bikes in december.
the wheels now shakes side to side on the axle. not a huge amount but noticeably so and enough to make riding difficult!
is the wheel a right off? can it be tightened or does the axle/bearings/hub need replaced!?
help please.
thanks in adavance.

Rombloke:
losen the axle nuts that hold the wheel to the frame.....then using a cone spanner, tighten the cone nuts(these are on the inside of the dropout) until the wobbly spindle is cured, but leaving it loose enough that the wheel spins freely.

so no its not a write-off jusy a case of fiddling with ya nuts...ooeer missus

ok now that my fear is put aside any cahnce u can put that in dumb terms.
in pretty new to the scene so i dont have a cone spanner i dont think!?

i have taken the wheel completley off the frame, and the wheel moves from side to side on the axle,
tools at hand are a bike tool with all shapes of nut cutouts, and 2 barbell style tools for various nut sizes.
i was initially frightened as a raleighigh mag colapsed at the axle underneath me once and it was a write off! thanks for your reply!

if u can gimme a run thru i'll do it tonight.

dordymush:
