[roro4000]

does anyone know how to adjust a 20mm hub? i got some play in my marzocchi 20mm hub?

Not sure who makes the Marzocchi stamped hub but generally you need to tighten the cups with a spanner wrench.

new bearings. Those are sealed and you cannot adjust them.

oh god, im sorry you have to deal with a marzocchi hub. they are the worst. all 20 mm hubs, other than mariachi, are way dope and dont need adjustment. get a new hub is what i recoomend.

Very few 20mm hubs have an adjustment and if they do its very limited. if you take it to an experienced mechanic you will get new bearings for around 30 bucks installed. Marzocchi hubs are just fine.

good news (not great though) and bad news, and some reatarded news, followed by a valuable educational experience.

good news, well my hub isn't that bad. there is a little bit of play though.

bad news, but the problem is that the pin that holds the hinge is all bent and stuff which causes the wheel to feel wobbly. i broke that pin awhile ago and replaced it with a screw cause i didn't think it was worth it to order $20 worth of a pin and wait for it while it comes from italy so i went to the hardware store.

reatarded news, i overtightened the pinch bolt and snapped it in half. so i'll be waiting for parts from italy anyway.

but i learned a valuyable lesson, don't do that dumb **** again. but since i really shoud've just ordered the pin to begin with i'll do that now since it comes with everything else that comes attached to that hinge.

so it all works out wonderfully and i get to pretend my bmx bike is a mountain bike again wich is always fun, but kind of scary.
