Yesterday while I was out riding, I suddenly began to get a serious amount of play on my front wheel, and then I realised the bearing cone had come loose.
I have attempted to fix it myself despite being a complete novice, and I seem to have fixed the problem. However, now when I put the wheel back on the bike, the pin sticks out about half an inch from the adjustable screw, which I could swear it didn't do before, it was a perfect fit. Does anyone know why this might be? Is there a spacer or a nut missing, or is it likely to be something more fundamentally wrong with the way I fixed the cone?
Thanks.
