Lateral Play on Rear Wheel (with video)

[united4ever]

Should I be concerned? Rear wheel, nexus hub, the bolts are very tight so I don't think it's that, the axel does not move but there is a lateral movement when I hold the frame with one hand and move the wheel side to side with the other.

Is the cone adjustment correct?

Most likely cause is slightly loose cone nuts on the axle as mentioned above.

You'll have to take the wheel out of the frame and wiggle the axle bolts to examine for any play.

Also check frame for any cracks. I had a frame that had started to rust and gave the same symptoms.

Good luck
