Some time ago I opened the rear hub on my Nishiki 601 (it's
Shimano STX/STX RC, Parallax from '98). I disassembled some parts
and I think I took out some of the balls from the bearings though
I put them back almost immediately.
Not many miles after that some problems started: at first the
wheel did not rotate that fluidly, then later it started wobbling
a bit sideways (well if you grab the rim you can tilt it by maybe
1 cm).
Is there a good howto online how to service your rear hub and fix
problems like these? Previously somebody advised me to check the
preload on the wheel (quick lock) but I have little clue what it
should be set at.
