Re: [ST] Back break loose

["Rick & Joyce" <rnjwes@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barry,
I just went out and checked my bike which is sitting forlornly
with the wheels off waiting for the new Avons.  The only thing
which moves is the caliper itself which being a floating caliper,
is normal.  OTOH, if you have play in the hub/wheel assy, that's
not a good thing - possibly a wheel bearing issue which should be
seen to asap.
