Hello All
I have a pair of Mavic Open Pros on Shimano Ultegra hubs. Whilst out on a training ride last week when my rear wheel ceased. Is this a common problem with Ultegra hubs?
I have take the hubs to bits and had a good look at the axle/cone setup and cannot see a way to prevent this from recurring other than tightening the lock nuts very tight. Is there something else that I should know about the set-up? I know that cheaper axles sometimes have one fixed cone and one adjustable one but I managed to get both cones off the axle and figure that one side will always be prone to getting tighter.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
