Hi
If the hubs are worn, so will the wheels be. Really they should be
replaced as a set, otherwise a worn hub will wear out a new wheel, and
vice versa. And remember to not tighten the nut too hard, because the
wheel acts as a spring against the conical part of the hub, and if
tightened too hard will ruin this spring.

>> Hi Gergo,
