If you strip the wheel down and send it off to hope they'll fix it for you if not give you a brand new one free of charge usually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Burrows Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 This has happened to quite a few people. Inside the hub there is a ring of metal teeth called the ratchet. This is fitted into the hub via a screw on thread. You will have stripped that thread, allowing the ratchet ring to spin both ways instead of being solid. Hope will very often repair a hub with this problem for free if you post it off to them. There is one problem though, to fix the hub they will have to replace the hub shell. This is the outside shell of the hub that the spokes attach to. So before you post the hub back, you will need to dismantle the wheel and rebuild it when the hub comes back to you. Hope are very good with this sort of problem and will often send you a repaired hub back within 3 or 4 days. The only real problem is getting the wheel rebuilt, but if your rim is old it may be a good time to get a new rim and pay for a professional wheel build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope sometimes charge for repairs, but usually this problem they fix for free even if you have no receipt. Just include a friendly letter explaining what happened and I'm sure they will sort it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
