Thanks for all the bananas
Great thanks
Ah the cassette locking nut was loose, could be it?OK one more -
Is it normal to be able to roll the wheel a few degrees when locking the back brake?
The rotor and cassette don't move but the wheel itself does for a few centimetres.
Not if the rotor isn't moving either. Check the rotor bolts are tight.OK one more -

That’s nothing to do with the wheel moving with the brake on…Ah the cassette locking nut was loose, could be it?
There is a fare bit of play if they're center-lock brakes.OK one more -

6 bolt.There is a fare bit of play if they're center-lock brakes.
A shitty hubWhat is this sitting on the end of the hub axle?
It has threads but simply pops off
Was going to say it was protecting the threads...What is this sitting on the end of the hub axle?

It’s just an end cap. Will be one on the other side too presumably.What is this sitting on the end of the hub axle?
Not if they're tightened properly.There is a fare bit of play if they're center-lock brakes.
Really? I've never got mine tight enough to stop all movement if you rock back and forward. And has been the same across two different wheelsets.Not if they're tightened properly.
Most brakes will allow the pads to "float" in the caliper a little bit, so that will allow a small amount of back & forward movement of the wheel through the brake. However if the rotor is not moving in the brake, the ONLY possibility is that the bolts or lockring are not tight enough.
Possible, but in that instance the rotor would move with the wheel.Caliper might be loose on the frame @HamboCairns
True, for the normal eye.Possible, but in that instance the rotor would move with the wheel.
