So i noticed that my back hub on my 404's is a little loose. . looking online, it looks like they can be tightened fairly easily - does anyone have a good explanation on how to do it  - or is this just something that i should take my bike into the shop and have them do it in 2 minutes?  i know with derailleurs, i just take it in

I believe it takes 2x5mm allen keys to tighten the hubs to 88 in lbs for the rear hub. They fit into the axel like the skewer. If you take off the skewer and look down the axel you will see what I mean. There should be a small amount of play 0.002
inches.
