Bearings are probably fucked. Are you still travelling a lot? for some reason my front hub sometimes does this after a flight but then go back to being fine.

What happened to the Marmoset? I'm about to put my new bearings in my ancient one

I put my nuts on that axle before it shipped, FYI

I put some fresh bearings in mine last summer and I think it'll be good to go for another 10 years. George outdid himself and should have planned some obsolescence.

I just built brand new wheels but reused my old Marmoset. Slapped new Enduro bearings in and it's still perfect. Sunday Cyclone freecoaster and Eclat Bondi rims. Should be good to go for another 5 years anyways now.
