Matthew_Gibson Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I was out before and my hub (Hope Mono) wasn't making the clicking noise it normally makes. Anyone know what i should do about it? Or is it totally f**ked? Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 If it engages, whats the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 some of the thick greese from the bearings may have spilld out onto the pawls, take it apart and clean it out. that should do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 Well it wasn't for the first few turns of the wheel. But it was fine after that. Could it be too much grease it the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Smith Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 To me it sounds like there is too much grease in the hub, wip the cassette off and take the ratchet body off, clean out al the grease with a rag, then use a light oil instead of grease, this always works best........ the grease actually dampens the spring mechanism rather than letting it actaute.........3 in one oil should work a treatash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is the grease liek that comes in a hope? is it thin? or thick? cheers(sorry for the thread hijack)to remove the ratchet body from an xc/mono or even bulb/big-un, simply use a cassette lockring tool, remove the cassette leaving the bare ratchet body.........next use a flat bladed screw driver to lever the cap on the axle off the axle, (the cap is held on with a rubber o-ring inside it)then simply pull the ratchet body out, being careful to watch the springs dont go everywhere.........the grease that comes in a hope is quite thick the reason for this being is that the hubs are designed for xc/freeride............ive found the best substance to run the hope hubs on is light oil rather than grease........ash Edited December 25, 2005 by trialnoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
