Hi, I am looking for any advice or ideas!
I have a Newmen rear wheel with an XD drive on a Cube carbon fibre bike. Every few weeks or so the bearings in the freehub fail - completely mashed. I also note that I cannot put any tension on torque on the rear wheel axle without the rear wheel spinning less freely. I was thinking it was the rear wheel, but I swapped the rear wheel out and had the same issue with torque and the free wheel spinning freely.
I am thinking it is maybe the frame? Any thoughts?
Thanks!Â
i dont see how it could be the frame, tightening the bolt compresses the two axel ends against the frame, thats it.
(i acknowledge your comment about trying a different wheel)
But it still sounds to me like theres a spacer missing in the hub, so tightening the bolt up is binding a bearing, which will increase wear and destroy it very very quickly
