At any rate, if it's not a big deal I'm pretty sure I can ignore it and continue riding. I was just afraid that it might be a problem with the hub or the way the wheel is built or something big that I might be concerned about.
Forgot to mention, did you have the lockring and fixed Cog greased and tightened? They dont grease them at the factory. also, the crank arms need to be tightened as they do a piss poor job doing that too
I went over the whole bike as my LBS guy gave me the "headsup" on this
I found just about everything loose and in need of grease. But I do have to say that after the work was done its been a dream to ride
