Gandalf the Yellow Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 i have a mono from nov 04, but after being used by a bent onza skewer (nothing serious, only where the lever is) it started creakin like hell, i have posted about this a while back but i never got round to find out whats wrong.... now its creakin more and more, and i get some ridiculous slippage, like i can get about 5 slips within riding time of 5 mins.... then my mate steward finally had a look inside today, but nothin seems to be fecked, bearings were fine, pawls/springs were all good, axle weren't snapped or bent, hub body was not cracked....but the freehub, had all these 'dents' on it made from either the teeth inside the hub, but steward says its fine, most mono's do that. but 1 big problem is that 1 side of the (inside) of the freehub where the 'dents' are there are some massive dents where i can see the teeth have been eating into the free hub.... has anyone had this before? is it normal and could this be causing all the creaks and slippage? steve :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iatola says Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 (edited) It doesnt take a rocket scientist to work out that a bend skewer under the force of a hope disc wont be very special, however the creaks without looking at it or hearing it id get a postal adress for NASA Trev Edited April 18, 2005 by iatola says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 they wont even charge you for postage! they have never charged me. personally mate i would bung it back together and maybe double the springs up, i doubled mine up about 2-3months ago and have never ever had the hub "Slip" on me. how long have you had the hub? personally id put it back together try what i said with the springs and you wil be fine (HOPEfully) Waynio..........................
