Phil H Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 It's a hope mono Ti, was riding today and it not so much skipped but jerked a few times. It wasn't when I was actually applying alot of pressure, it just happened randomly for example when I applied some pressure to slow riding fakie for a run up. I've got enough tension, my chain ring is brand new and my sprocket shouldn't be too worn, does anyone know what this may be?Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 broken spring, pawl or worn rachet. pop the freehub off and see yourselfSprings should be all good, replaced them recently. Pawls shouldn't break I wouldn't think. If its the ratchet gone I'll cryI'll have a look at it later onPhilBasheranother hub gone then?Better not be! You sold it to me! AND I just got it re-built with an 07 echo rim.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Right, cheers for the input guys.Took the freehub off, checked the ratchet was good which it was, cleaned the pawls, stretched out the springs.Rode for about an hour and it happened twice which wasn't too bad but still kind of annoying. The confusing thing is it didn't actually happen whilst riding trials, jsut when I was riding on the flat Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 too much lube? or not enough? Don't use grease use a thing layer of XC chain lube. that kind of hub sould be serviced like ever 4-5 months I did with mine, By service I mean a clean and a relube.
