    I recently picked up a Jamis XCR race with a Cole wheel setup. This is my first foray into pricey parts, but I got the bike for a really good deal. I'm not sure the model, as all the labels have been removed, but the rear hub is Stamped Cole 711. The problem I have is that the hub has a bit of free play, I was told that this was OK since the bearings are sealed. There doesn't appear to be a way to snug up the hub either.

    Advice would be awesome.

    Unfortunately, unless I read German it wouldn't help. The Service manual is corrupt. Thanks though!

    And my question was kind of buried as well. Is some play with a sealed bearing Hub ok? Or like a non sealed bearing system, damage will ensue.
