Adjusting the Bearings on the Rear Hub
It is unlikely that you will need to adjust the bearings on the rear hub.
However, in the event that the rear wheel develops play (more than 1mm at the rim) or it feels heavy to pedal (i.e.,
the hub is too tight), you may need to tighten the bearing cone.
To check if this needs to be done, turn the Gocycle upside down. Using gentle pressure, move the wheel at the rim
side to side. Some flex in the wheel is normal, but if you feel that the wheel is loose, you will need to adjust the
bearing cone as shown below:
