Out on the T.V today 2 up i encountered the dreaded rear wheel wobble! The rear nut was very loose the retainer washer was still fixed. Checking tonight i find when all tightened back up there is when looking down on the spinning wheel what you would describe as when you buckle a bike wheel. Everything is tight but still the wobble, could this be where the initial problem started? Now the hub is an original Innocenti and after today slight burring round the teeth area is evident or could it be a bent layshaft? I've never had any probs in this area before, what do you think cosmic lovers

I had the rear-hub wobble issue. I replaced the layshaft with a new MBDevelopments one, replaced the layshaft bearing race in the endplate, replaced the rear hub bearing, and reshimmed the gearbox. Same hub, no more wobble.
