Hi.
I've been riding for one year, most of that time on an '07 KH 24. For the past month or two I've found that my wheel gets wobbly after just and hour of riding. I now tighten the frame brackets before every ride. Is this normal? I still feel quite new to riding, so I'm not sure what the problem might be, or if it's a problem at all.
Thanks.

I presume you mean the bearing clamps? They shouldn't need regular tightening, applying some loctite to the bolts will solve this problem.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

booo.

Grease, you want grease in those bolts. You may have to tighten now and again, but you do not want those bolts sealing themselves into the aluminum.
