Morning.
The gears on my Alfine 11 have been a bit grumbly lately so I put the bike on the stand last night for a fettle. The gears appear to be indexed OK (went from 11 down to 6 and made sure the yellow lines are aligned) yet they still crunch a little and I’m sure I’m missing one from time to time.
While it was on the stand and I was spinning the pedals I also noticed that it’s not free-wheeling properly – spin up in a high gear (more noticeable) and when you let go of the pedals they continue to turn. If it gets much worse I might end up with a coaster brake!
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Should I attempt to strip it, clean etc? I bought it second hand through the classifieds here so doubt I can send it to Madison without incurring some cost and (more importantly) being without the bike for some time.
Thanks
