Hi,
My Prague is a year old. I recently noticed a small amount of lateral play on the rear wheel. To be clear, this is not the axle moving in the dropouts, but the hub moving on the axle.
I did a quick scan of the internet and saw it suggested that it was unlikely the bearings, as there was no noise, and at only a year old too, and that it was more likely the nut had loosened on the axle, at the shoulder of Brake side of the hub. So I located this nut, and tried to tighten it, but it sheared almost instantly
. (It's barely a few mm thick!)
Has anyone had a similar problem? Would be interested to hear how you corrected it.
