When I spin it/ ride on it the back wheel “catches” and makes a clunking sound. It only does this sometimes, but tis enough to make it practically un rideable.

Is it;
A: Bearings
B: Free wheel
C: New wheel time
D: None of the above

If A,B or D, how muchis that going to cost me (Deore Hub)or is this an acceptable time to invest in a nice new rear wheel? (anyone got anything nice for sale?)

Nobody?

Near impossible to call without seeing in although without attention, I’ve found deore bearing die quicker than the freehub. Also, spinning isn’t going to put much load on the freehub so I’m tempted to lean towards bearings.

I thought that might be the case… I’ll be taking it apart and having a look then me thinks!

Take it apart, silly simple.
