1.The freehub on my xc hub is loose - won't fall off but there's play in it.

Took it all off and nothing obvious - tried a new end cap too.

2. Replaced outer bearings in pro2 rear hub and it freewheels ok but I can't backpedal - chain just wraps up.

Ideas on either anyone?

Echo above re : spacer , Did you fit a new freewheel seal?, and is it seated correctly?.

Check the hope website for exploded diagrams to make sure you've not missed anything.

1. Worn freehub bearing with play in it would be my guess.
2. Missing or mixed up spacer.

No mention of bearing replacement on the XC hub.

1. Worn bearings.

2. Too much grease around springsl/pawls or the seal isn't seated properly.

Cheers folks will pull apart tomorow.
Xc hub has had no work so something just worn then

ProII - will check seal and spacer. Only did hub bearings as they were rough as. Freehub bearings were good - no play, ran smooth
