I have a party on V2 front rim, sealed w/ female axle. No matter how much I tighten it, it feels like there’s play in the wheel. Wondering how I can get rid of the play. Tried looking up a video. They said it could be the cones, but they didn’t explain how to do it. New to female hubs/axles, I’d appreciate if someone could help!

Female cones are usually press fit, so that when the wheel is tightened up in the forks they in turn press on the bearings and hold the whole thing solidly between the axle. If you’ve got wobble, there’s a few possibilities. 1 new bearing/s – 2 cones have become compressed over time and aren’t sitting correctly anymore, new cones required. – 3 – axle has compressed/stretched, new axle required.
