matt middler Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Take it apart and give it good clean, check that nothings broken. If its still slipping then get a new hub it will only cause more problems in the future. You dont want to lose confidence or teeth as a result of a dodgy hub!

basher Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Are yuo sure its the hub skipping and not the chain jumping the cog or something, if its skipping when just pedalling around then more than likely it isnt the hub, if it skips when going for a gap then it will be the hub and by taking it apart youll proberly find a broken spring which are cheap and easy to fit. If its isnt the hub then it will either be chain line, worn cog, chain tension or not enough chain rapping around the cog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
