6.14 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 adjust the bearing cone.
WARNING! Check the hub gear bearing adjustment every 500 miles (800 km) or 3 months. Regular
checks will ensure best possible performance for your Gocycle.
Failure to inspect the hub gear bearing adjustment may have serious consequences and could result
in serious bodily injury or even death.
To check if adjustment is
required, 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:
