  1. hi guys
    My front wheel bearings were loose last weekend so we tightened them up probably got close to an eighth or quarter turn..did the Allen key up tight!
    We have since done 100 miles and they are loose again? You can hear a ticking noise when turning left and right and when you rock the wheels holding them at 12 o'clock there is play.
    Any ideas how and why this is happening?

    Tighten them up again and see what happens. I swapped my spindles over a couple of weeks back and now need to re check the bearings, they're not clicking but I do get a strange noise from the nearside one when pulling away.
     
  3. you need to change them ..
     
  4. Cheers guys :)
