Stanners Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Right im going to explain this as well as i can, the hub is a Hope pro 2 trials... A funny noise has been coming from the drivechain area for a while like a crunching of a bearing noise....first off i heard v8's can make bearing noises so i left it as that.....but now when i coast along, not pedalling, a griding noise appears nearly every reveloution and i can see it shaking the chain.....ive taken the freehub out and it looks perfect, plus it dosn't sound like a freehub going from my experiance.....anyone had a similer problem?? Snapped Axel? Bearings?? Im gonna take it apart later but before i do id rather hear some opinions, Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'd have a wee ride outside and try that robberoonie? It also sometimes made it when you pedaled backwards? then again forwards, might be the same as ash said as I wasent able to get it to do it to me while pedaling backwards and forwars however im right footed and your left.... How ever it hasent even made this noise untill the last week or so.... try put a bolt threw your tentioner wheel and again have a quick look threw the hub, I want too try get a hub shell replacement if you want to have a ride over to the hope factory sometime?

Stanners Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Well when i was riding back to the car at speed it was worse when i leand into a corner.......also it only happens when theres weight on it so bearing are top suspect at the moment.......if its bearings yeah ill come to hope factory cause ill probanly go to lbs and they'll be like urrrrr no sorry mate only have them online........you know how to fit them? i know you can get proper tools but you can wack em in with a peice of wood i think.
