Hi just wondered if anyone can help. The back wheel on my new zesty is loose even when the QR clamp is really tight. I've only had it 3 weeks so I don't think it can be the wheel bearings, but I haven't got a cone wrench yet so I haven't checked as yet. Anything else it could be that I'm missing?

Maybe just need to tighten the locknuts? If the aren't on tight enough they might be preventing the quick release from squeezing the last bit of play from the cup/cones

Cheers rudedog that seems to have sorted it. Boys at Evans cycles must not have put it together properly, never had that problem on my old hardtail in 2 and a half years.
