I've had my new wheels for 8 weeks max! I felt some play in the rear and thought it was my rear triangle but took the bike to the shop only to find out that the rear hubs bearings had loads of play in them. Just wondering if anyone else have this problem

yes I have those wheels myself and mine was loose I thought the same as us. It's not the bearing its the black part on the roter side that comes loose use the plastic tool to do it up that works for me. But I have noticed this keeps coming loose so I do it up again but if you do it up to much it slows the spinning down . I think this is a fault and I'm not best pleased with it . Thow your case could be dif from mine if your bearings have play then keep an eye on what I've said. Allso let me know how you get on and how they fixed this. Cheers
