Wondered if anyone can help explain what’s going on here, had my capra 4 years now and I’ve had the BB, chain and chainring just as wearing parts.
However I’ll go on say a 10 mile ride and maybe 3 times on the ride the cranks will essentially spin a tad and can be under load/no load. Under load it’s worse as it makes a loud metallic bang sound and definitely feels like it’s through the cranks, the cranks themselves look fine when removed, wondered if anyone can suggest what might be happening?
Freehub maybe, could be sticky pawls
Sounds like freehub
Good shout! I have had it out and even had it cleaned and regreased but thank you I reckon it’s likely it could be that. They’re DT Swiss with only a few pawls with not too much engagement so would explain. Will take another look thank you
I would echo the above and think an intermittant oroblem with the drive in the freehub. It feels like BB as thats where you are connected.
What make are the wheels? I think some YT use pawl ratchet DT hubs

Certainly the freehub
