Looking for a bit of advice as I'm a complete noob when it comes to any kind of mechanical faults on a bike. I was out on my MTB the other day and noticed quite a bit of clicking which was happening whether I was pedalling or not.
Removed the rear wheel tonight and there is definitely a bit of play in the axle, am I right in thinking this should not be moving at all? (apart from a rotation obviously) Just in case I haven't described this well I'm holding the outer most parts which have a bit of wiggle room if moved either up/down or side to side.
Anyone any ideas what this is and whether it would need to be taken into my LBS to fix? I'm kind guessing maybe bearings or something?
thanks in advance
