Anyone have the same problem?
I've got a Mavic spoke key/bearing pre-tensioner tool but the nipple/circlip bits don't actually fit anything.
Any ideas?

Similar thing mentioned a week or so ago.
Can't get the URL to work properly from my phone, sorry!
Hmmmmm not many answers on that thread. Common problem by the looks of it.
I am lead to believe that mavic hubs are ment to have some play in them. I could be wrong though.
Depending on its age, it probably has a nylon bushing inside the free hub body. These wear out & end up giving you play no matter how tight everything else is.
Mavic's answer is to replace the free hub body itself -about £35 the last time I looked. There are aftermarket alternatives just selling the bushing itself and it's a doddle to swap em once you have the free hub off.
I got my last one from the Hub Doctor on fleabay.

Thanks Nobby do you know which one it is for Crossrides 2013
Could be the same thing that happens to my crossride hub. Dirt enters them and they need a quick service/clean out and re-oil. Theres a few vids on youtube.
What year are the wheels, mine did it after a couple of months so they went back and had totally different internals fitted. Been fine for about 10 rides so far
Guessing 2012/13 bikes got 3 months warranty and only ridden once
I bought mine new 2nd hand took them into lbs who sent them of to mavic. All done for free, think they are the same year as mine and it's a fault with the hubs so I would send them off
