Bearings

Q: I can grab my wheel [front or rear] and wobble it back and forth. What needs to be fixed?

A: This wobbling, which can also be heard as "clunking" when riding, is a sign of a loose bearing in the wheel. Get this fixed as soon as possible, as a loose bearing could destroy your cones and hub. If you have a quick-release wheel, try tightening the skewer, which compresses the axle more and tightens up your bearings.
