My wheels (DE & AKA) wobble on them. I am using Avid hexes. If I put two washer's that are about 2mm thick on each wheel (before the nut), I can tighten the nut up and get no play/wobble. No washers and it's pretty bad. I did a little research and found another post about this as well.
With no washer's I can tighten the nut fully to the axle and it does not fully seat the wheel. As a matter of fact, if I try to tighten a little more the entire hex/axle would spin in the wheel.
Needless to say this is unacceptable and I am going to have to spend more money on AE axles.
Would you please clarify for me? Are you saying you need to run the AE axles and Avid hex adapters? I'm going to be changing over my B4.1 to hex and don't want to "experiment" with what fits properly and what doesn't fit.
Your help is appreciated.
