[QUOTE="Trikky2, post: 506210, member: 240"] Sounds like it may have been a faulty bearing then :( If you fit one yourself make sure to bed it by tightening with a spanner whilst turning the wheel, a few times, and then set it to about as tight as you can get it with just your fingers and lock it there. If these bearing are set too tight then they will fail because they will get even tighter as they warm up during use. It starts a vicious circle of tightness and heating. [/QUOTE]
